Government Alerts on ATT iphones?
A friend of mine just got an iphone on another network. We were standing in the office and all of a sudden his phone started making a noise neither of us had ever heard from our phones.
Turns out he had a Government Alerts section under his Notifications page. It includes emergency alerts and Amber alerts.
When will ATT support this?

Added Emergency Alerts functionality (to all models).

Looks likely. But, the article doesn't mention the 3gs.

I received this update on my iPad Mini yesterday, however, not on my iPhone 5. I think it might be because my iPhone 5 is currently jailbroken but I'm not sure.

If not mentioned more then likely it will not happen for the phone, but then again this is supposition

If they are like other vendors, they push the firmware out to all phones but only those capable of the function will show it.

My update just came through this morning. Live in Nashville, TN. n
Not sure how they break up the deployment, but it makes sense they could not push it to everyone at the exact same time.
