Must be something baked into the hardware. Like the EBS system. I wonder if it is an FCC mandated thing. If so the tech specs must be out there somewhere.

I have an old phone that I keep this laying around generally on Wi-Fi to listen to podcasts and a few other things. Only wifi. No sim in it. It still gets those alerts. ----- Reply message ----- From: "Adam Moffett" <dmmoff...@gmail.com> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: [AFMUG] amber alert Date: Wed, Sep 21, 2022 10:24 AM Everything sent to cell phone with a pair of keys. One key is in your SIM card, and the other is in the EPC at the cell company’s head end. I assume the amber alert is still encrypted like everything else. Could be wrong, but you might have to crack that to send anything to your phone that it would listen to.

I would love to be able to trigger my phone on certain alarms like that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
