Not getting emergency alerts

[Laineybug24]

My whole family is on Verizon. We each have different phones....a Droid Ultra, Samsung Note 5, LG k20 v, and mine is a Samsung galaxy s7.  Mine is the only one that never gets emergency alerts, even if we are all sitting in the same room.  I have all the settings set properly (I've checked every time all the alerts come in and I get nothing) but I still don't get anything.  I am concerned that I won't be around my family when there's an emergency and I won't get the notification.

Are you sure you have all the emergency alert notifications  turned on?

[Laineybug24]

Yes, I've gone to settings, privacy and emergency, emergency alerts, then settings, alert types, all are switched on and red except presidential alerts which says its mandatory and always on. . It's also set to alert with an emergency tone, vibrate, and alert remind once.

Did this just start?  Was it after an OS update?  If it was, then that's likely the problem.  Gee, another issue created by a system update.  Imagine that.

I am having the same problem. I live in tornado alley and did not get half the warnings that were sent out. There was another post on here awhile back where people were having this problem and to my knowledge it was never answered. I have a S7 edge but I think this problem wasn't just common for these phones. I have checked and rechecked my settings and I have them set the way they are suppose to be to get these warnings

No, I noticed it for the first time in April when my husband got an alert and I didn't. That's only when I first noticed it though... I don't think I've ever received an alert on this phone and I've had it for a little over a year.

As a Gold contributor, I don't think kathy65793 needs any instruction on how to check her emergency notification settings.

You took the thoughts straight from my brain when I read this thread.

I assume you meant for me to answer this.

All settings are correct.  All three alerts are switched on and red, as well as notification sound, vibration and an alert reminder once.

My build number is NRD90M.G930VVRS4BQH1

My zip code is 80504.
