Hi schavez-73,


Thanks for reaching out through Apple Support Communities for help with your emergency and government alerts. We're glad to help in any way we can, so that you're receiving all alerts.


Have these worked before on this iPhone, and with the same carrier? It's important to note that government alerts require a device that is using a SIM card from a supported carrier. It may be necessary to reach out to your carrier directly.


Let us know if the information in this guide helps, under the section titled, "Turn Government Alerts on or off":
