- Will I receive an emergency alert if my phone is connected to Wi-Fi?
While on Wi-Fi, if the compatible wireless device can still communicate with the LTE cellular network, it will receive emergency alerts. If the wireless device is not within reach of the LTE cellular network (or is set to Wi-Fi only) it will not receive an emergency alert.
This means that the device will not receive any messages if it's not connected to an LTE network. It needs to be on an LTE network to receive alerts.
