    Maybe, but a wouldn’t it be way better to rely on a service every cellphone can receive by default, namely cell broadcast?

    They even implemented this in Germany a few years ago after it has been available for twenty odd years.

      Pretty sure emergency mobile broadcasts are included (at least by gov agencies) but you know what happens with these things that are only used for emergencies:

      “It’s annoying can’t I turn it off?”

      That’s why I still think the more methods the better. It’s probably one of the few reasons I’m okay with being bombarded with messages (not in jp, but literally got 2 earthquake warnings yesterday).
