It's handy having two different phones with two different plans from two different providers. For example, I have now been able to confirm that, regardless of the type of phone, or the provider, or any alerting service that you may be signed up with, you *don't* get any of the supposedly universal alerts from the government or emergency services unless you have a data plan. (And unless you are actually using that plan, at the time of the alert.)
Which, given mobile/cell service pricing in Canada, means you don't get any warning of disasters unless you're rich.
It also means that, even if you are rich, if you have set your phone to pick up on your wifi at home, you won't get alerts at home, either.
