The local school system started doing this. Not for long on my phone, I can tell you....... totally effin irritating. I got it stopped just before snow season when they promised to call before 5am if school was cancelled. I'm quite happy to find out at when i wake up at 6am, tyvm.

now for the newest phenomenon, prank ennouncements!

the perennial favorite, the Five AM wake up call to all your enemies
the old standby "You may have won a prize..."

the list grows at a rate limited only by imagination.
