I am a bit paranoid of their spying and tracking, I am hoping that the warning system does not depend on some kind of closed source tracking.
Since we cannot escape our Carrier, hopefully it is a carrier supported service that can simply use your tower location.
I am currently using my Brave Heart and a cheap keyboard/message dumb phone.
If what I read from that link above is correct, it's up to the mobile device to receive a message from a 3gpp payload from designated cell phone towers and determine whether it's current position falls within the geometry in the message. There's not even a confirmation of receipt since the device is responsible for storing and determining whether a duplicate message was sent to it.
It's passing my tinfoil hat test so far.
Now, if only I could figure out the details of the message and whether the PP hardware will give us the necessary capability to catch the message.
