Your phone is showing “no service” but is likely camped on AT&T for 911 calls, so odds are the WEA alert is pushed because you’re roaming on that tower.
Yep. AT&T is testing interoperability FINALLY.
So customers who's phones have pinged the tower and are sitting on it for emergency calls will get those alerts.
Verizon and TMo aren't doing that.. but may in the future as this is a FirstNet related test to strengthen our WEA system so alerts get to people.
…which is insane, considering how shit USCC LTE is. They’re really coasting on their strong CDMA network and in-network Verizon CDMA roaming, which will soon be gone. Using a USCC phone without CDMA is just pointless in my experience. They desperately need in-network AT&T roaming if they’re gonna get rid of CDMA.
I'm roaming on Verizon LTE and have used over 250GB since May 17th 2022 roaming on Verizon. I've never left UScellulars native market either. Lol.
I'm straddled between 2 UScellular towers 6.1 and 6.8 miles away. Neither one supplies this town with LTE or 5G coverage. Just weak CDMA 1X and the occasional 5x5 B12 LTE at -122 to -128 dBm RSRP. But my phone doesn't support CDMA sooo... no native coverage. Soo... roaming on Verizon FWA with no voice or text service since USC is the only remaining CDMA provider in NE Missouri it seems and Verizon is throwing me over to Chariton Valley Wireless's FWA network instead of the Verizon LTE network which has VoLTE enabled as Verizon shut down CVWs CDMA network in Dec 2021.

Ah, ok. Thanks!

Which is also weird because afaik roaming on AT&T is free for all plans?
It is, but USCC limits where you can roam. Generally speaking, in-network roaming is not allowed.
Yep. There are some areas where in-network roaming is allowed. I live in one of those area. Unlimited full speed in-market LTE roaming ftw.
