Choose to receive Test Emergency Alerts in the United States
When your iPhone is connected to a carrier in the United States — using a U.S. SIM or while roaming in the U.S. — you can enable Test Emergency Alerts. By default, this is turned off. When you receive this type of alert, you'll hear a sound that's similar to an alarm, and the alert will mention that it's a test. To turn these alerts on or off, follow these steps:
Open the Phone app and tap Keypad.
To turn it on: Enter 500525371# and tap . You'll get an alert that says "Test alerts enabled."
To turn it off: Enter 500525370# and tap . You'll get an alert that says "Test alerts disabled."
Government test alerts are available with U.S. carriers, including Puerto Rico. Your local government is responsible for the content and the frequency of the test alerts. You can disable this feature anytime with the steps above. For more information, contact your carrier.

Damn thanks, I just did that and now I got a confirmation that I will now receive alerts. Just to think Apple really wants us all dead when SHTF and they don't give a single fuck whether they proclaim it publicly or not.
Well mine were on and I still did not receive anything today.
weird, mine is turned on but nothing happened today?

its just to enable the tests . like today was supposedly. a real alert should come through with just the enabled sliders in settings.
Mine was turned on in settings and I did not get any notifications. I followed the instructions provided and mine is now turned on.
turned off by default . i entered that code and it enabled it.
Not too many people received it - don't feel bad and believe me - if you're waiting on the govt to notify you on anything - good luck !
