    The only text I got is from my Dad asking me if I want Popeye's for dinner.

    Dood, Popeyes where I'm at on Tuesdays is ridiculous. I like fried chicken as much as the next guy, but I am not going to wait stupid amounts of time to get a 2 piece for 99 cents.

    People are actually sitting in their cars, blocking traffic both ways trying to get into the parking lot or drive thru.

    just got another one...this one was a Amber Alert UPDATE

    it said the same thing as the first one. Way to waste time and money putting out two emergency texts that said the same thing.

    Not to be insensitive, but..........how do you opt out of this thing?

    I think it is an alert on your phone. I have an Iphone with Verizon and I went to settings and then notifications and scroll all the way to the bottom you can slide it on/off. As well as emergency alerts. I also turned it off because it has gone off twice now and I am working.

    Found it.

    Settings - Notifications - scroll down to bottom and turn off Amber Alerts.

    I have an iPhone with Verizon.

    They should just make it optional to turn off. Like putting your phone number in a website turns it off. Shouldn't be mandatory. Other than that it is fine.

    oh. that works too
