Show government alerts in Notification Center: Choose the alerts you want to see from
the Government Alerts list. Government alerts are not available in all areas, vary by carrier
and iPhone model, and may not work under all conditions. For example, in the United States,
iPhone 4S or later can receive presidential alerts and you can turn AMBER and Emergency Alerts
(which includes both Severe and Extreme Imminent Threat alerts) on or off. In Japan, iPhone 4 or
later can receive Emergency Earthquake Alerts from the Japan Meteorological Agency.
Carrier
This setting appears on GSM networks when you’re outside your carrier’s network and other
local carrier data networks are available to use for your phone calls, visual voicemail, and
cellular network Internet connections. You can make calls only on carriers that have a roaming
agreement with your carrier. Additional fees may apply. Roaming charges may be billed to you by
the other carrier, through your carrier.
Select a carrier: Go to Settings > Carrier and select the network you want to use.
Once you select a network, iPhone uses only that network. If the network is unavailable, “No
service” appears on the iPhone.
General
General settings include network, sharing, security, and other settings. You can also find
information about your iPhone, and reset various iPhone settings.
