How to Disable Emergency Alerts on a Secret Phone
Individuals experiencing domestic violence sometimes hide secret devices for safety. It is important to understand that government alerts will sound regardless of whether or not the device is set to silent. For this reason it is advised to disable emergency alerts on your secret device.
Emergency alerts include those which warn of imminent risk in your area.
In Canada, emergency alerts cannot be fully disabled on cell phones. You may be able to change how you receive the alert, but the CRTC must send the alert to all cell phones. Please check the settings on your phone. When in doubt, turn the phone off when not in use. It is never advised to disable emergency alerts on your primary device.
