[Illusion]

So my phone just went off this morning sending me a text notifying me an Amber Alert has just been activated. I didn't even know my phone could do that o.o...
I didn't know what an Amber Alert was at the time but just found out its a child abductor Alert system.
I just moved last week and I still don't have wee-fee (wi-fi). So I've been burning all the data on my phone looking up amber alert stuff until Wednesday when I get my wee-fee.
So has anyone else got one of these alerts?
Have you somehow disabled it?
And how did I get an alert when I never opt in for these alerts? Is the ND selling my information? *puts on tinfoil hat*
