My power is out right now and I wish they would send me info about how long I'll be in the dark! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-notifications-on-your-cell-phone#post-1460147 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 11:29:53 +0000 bpcmarj 1460147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed the setting on my phone to vibrate on emergency alerts because they are.SO loud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-notifications-on-your-cell-phone#post-1460044 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 10:00:48 +0000 Ginger333 1460044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids' school sends out texts, and we got one once about a lock down that scared the poop out of me - I don't think it's the same as what you're describing though because it was a text and not a notification ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-notifications-on-your-cell-phone#post-1460041 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 09:56:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1460041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've received an amber alert and one weather alert - but the weather alert wasn't even that serious.</p> <p>I also receive emergency notifications from my school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-notifications-on-your-cell-phone#post-1460029 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 09:48:46 +0000 JerricaBenton 1460029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get weather alerts every so often. Once I was in target and everyone's phones started going off. It might have been the first time I got one so it was very surreal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-notifications-on-your-cell-phone#post-1460005 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 09:29:36 +0000 ElbieKay 1460005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I turned them off because the noise is too loud and they're not immediately relevant to me. I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night for an Amber Alert in the next state over. That is what happened the first time it went off. Just send me the message and I will read it when I wake up. If they improve the design and let me control how I receive the information, then I will turn it back on.</p> <p>I wish the government was run more intelligently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-notifications-on-your-cell-phone#post-1459043 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:19:33 +0000 AmandaB8 1459043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get Amber Alerts pretty regularly. When you're in the midwest and in the middle of everything, it's normal, which is super sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-notifications-on-your-cell-phone#post-1459034 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:15:22 +0000 Arden 1459034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amber alerts, yes.
