Emergency alert today ?

[pawl]

Nothing on my i phone I’m on three.

My Sister in Law was waiting for the call, on her Landline ‘phone 😂

Didn't hear a thing, not on phone tablet or my Good Ladies dumb phone.

I disabled it on iPhone but it still happened.

Thing is, if the nukes are incoming there's nowt I can do.

If a tornado is on the way I don't have a storm cellar.

If flooding is likely my house isn't fitted with hydraulic jacks to enable me to elevate it above any deluge.

So what is the point?

I never get alerts, but then I don't have a phone other than one that does only calls, you know, the ones where talking still happens.

Notification first on my EE sim (work) then my Vodafone sim and Apple Watch Ultra shortly after.

My wife got alerts on her two Vodafone sims around the same time. By boss and his wife, both on Three, got nothing.

So who shat themselves ? Only my daughter as she had forgotten about it, and has never had her phone so loud. She could hear neighbours too. Mine is off and we are in Amsterdam so nee nah.

I was surprised how quiet it actually was. Not nearly as loud as when the clock alarm goes off (which I have set to maximum as I am quite a deep sleeper).

 

[Alex321]

I received the alert message, but my phone was on mute and it didn’t sound an alert tone (I had thought it was supposed to sound regardless of whether the phone was muted).

Yes, it was. But not if it is turned off or in Airplane mode.

A two-tone trimphone?

No, it's a regular phone that will do internet but it's not set up for that. We only use it for calls when we are out, or if I'm on a longer ride, I take it with me in case I need help. A few years ago I was four miles from home on a very hot day, when my rear fat bike tire deflated. There was a 1/2" panhead screw in it. I could fix the puncture and spend an hour with a hand pump to inflate it, or call the wife to come and get me. I chose the latter.

If there’s another lab leak it can tell you to stay in your house.

Does Three mobile still only work on 3g.
If so that would probably explain why you didn't get the Alarm as it was only supposed to work on 4g/5g.
Incidentally my spare phone that's on Three mobile didn't go off either
