I did not sign up for any service and the tone was that same tone you hear when they test the emergency broadcast system, wasn't aware the government was doing this.

Are location services activated on your phone?

Also the weather channel app will do this too. You can go into settings and turn it off.

I do want to receive them. The OP didn't know where the alert was coming from. I was simply showing him where the option is.

once I was in a resturant in Birmingham when some bad weather came through...

kind of freaked everyone out when basically every cell phone in the place started alarming all at once...
