![]() As you can imagine these alerts were very disruptive to my sleep. In other words, it was acting much like an "automatic snooze button", if I can put it that way, because it kept telling me about this alert until I clicked OK.Ī second alert occurred about 40 minutes later (for the same child but this time in English AND French instead of just in English) and this time I got up right away to click the OK and there were no further messages. I confirmed that only one Amber Alert had come in but the phone kept nagging me about it until I finally clicked OK. And then again and again and again, at shortish intervals - a few minutes but I wasn't timing them - and the cycle didn't stop until I got out of bed and clicked OK on the Amber Alert message. I think I managed to sleep through the first message but a few minutes later, the emergency tone sounded again. My phone was a few feet away, charging, and the volume was quite low. We had an Amber Alert this morning, just after 5am, when I was fast asleep. However, I am not completely delighted with the actual implementation, at least as it affects me. That's great and I support the initiative. My area, Ontario in Canada, recently implemented a system of sending Amber alerts to all smart phone owners in Ontario. Is there any way to stop Amber Alerts on my phone from signalling again and again and again until I click OK?
