    I do get these alerts sent to my phone with a warning sound- Severe Weather, Amber alerts, etc...

    I believe you have to get ahold of BeWeahter pro and its part of that app?

    I get weather alerts through that as well, but I believe OP is talking about WEA messages, Wireless Emergency Alert: Wireless Emergency Alerts: Frequently Asked Questions

    In the HUB go to Settings then down to Emergency Alerts. There you can customize what alerts you have notifications for.

    This is the list of providers that have WEA:
    AT&T
    Bluegrass Cellular
    Cellcom
    Cricket Wireless
    Sprint Nextel Corporation
    T-Mobile USA
    U.S. Cellular
    Verizon Wireless (Bold 9930, Curve 9310,9330,9370 Torch 9850, Z10)

    Verizon was the only provider to list out what devices they have are WEA enabled.. interesting the Q10 isn't on there.. i'm thinking its an omission by accident... It must be a standard at this point so all new phones should have it.

    You're absolutely right.... I kept on looking in the main settings menu and couldn't find it!

    I believe BBOS devices had the ability to list Emergency Weather alerts by themselves (without the need for an app), but can't remember as it's been so long... Could just be what Grumblegrumble mentioned though with using BeWeather Pro, since I used their wallpaper function a lot on my old 9810.

    Don't feed the troll. We get Amber alerts. All you have to do is enable them if they aren't already enabled.

    My Curve 9360 had this function included in an OS update.

    I have found that BeWeather Pro and even the Accuweather app are better at giving warnings than the Emergency Alert message function on my Z10.

    The disappearance of the child has now become a homicide investigation.
    A woman in the home ( unknown to authorities if it's the child's mother) was found deceased and the residence.
