Emergency! Emergency! Will you get the alert?

[magneze]

1/3 phones in this house got it. Fail.

 

[magneze]

So how do they know if it didn't work?

 

[Ax^]

I wonder if it's people on certain networks who didn't get it when their phone should have

government does need want people on the three network to survive clearly

 

[trashpony]

1/2 got it in our house.

 

[Chilli.s]

woke me up during a nice little snooze

cunts

 

[moochedit]

Mine was loud as fuck

Mine was loud but not as loud as expected.

 

[MickiQ]

Well that was unimpressive. We're here dropping Youngest Q off back at Uni and a dozen phones have just made a rather pitiful mewling sound for a few seconds. Lots of not very concerned young women looking bored at their phones so pretty much as normal then

Got mine on own (android) and work (i-phone) - didn't hear any voice to either

Have turned on old android phone (must be getting on for 10 years old - only keep it as an emergency spare / use it for logging on to telegram as don't want everyone who's got my mobile number to find me on there) and it's not got anything, although i only thought about turning it on after 3pm. i got the idea from somewhere that even if phone was turned off at 3pm, it would get the alert next time you switch on. maybe that phone is too old to get the alerts?

Tbf if there is a nuclear strike it won't make much difference......

If there is a nuclear strike inbound I don't want to know.

 

[andysays]

If that was an actual emergency I wouldn't have a clue because there was only one button to press to shut it up, so I pressed that straight away and it made the text disappear.

Me too

 

[Limejuice]

Zero percent emergencies in my house.

Dear Rishi, why have we been left to die?

 

[moochedit]

My mums phone didn't get it as on 3g. I switched her over to a 4g tarif online earlier but they didn't change it over in time.

Did exactly the same myself.

Being serious now, that is a design flaw.

 

[cesare]

Didn't get it on my old backup iPhone 6

 

[andysays]

If there is a nuclear strike inbound I don't want to know.

I'm sure someone will start a thread here

"Everyone's time is up"

 

[ouirdeaux]

Sod all here, not sure if that means Worthing is safe or I am dead.

You are safe, Worthing is dead.

 

[moochedit]

Got mine, bit strange that the voice has an American accent. I want to be told about an emergency by a reassuring RP voice.

Thats probably your phone. Mine was british accent.

 

[mx wcfc]

Forgot all about it. It was a bit of a "what the fck is that?!" moment.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

is this your twitter account Sasaferrato?

 

[kittyP]

I didn't get any voice.
Did get the alarm (which was quite loud here) but yeah I pressed ok to turn the noise off but that made the text dissappear so I don't know what it said.

 

[kalidarkone]

I've got a Samsung s20- should of got it.....

everyone not wearing 2 million sunblock is going to have a really bad day ...

 

[thismoment]

I didn’t get it. I’m using an iPhone 6

no doing your maths homework on time clearly

Well quite, you would hope an alert would stay in your alerts. Now I'll just assume this is some mad fever dream or new symptom of the menopause.

 

[dessiato]

I got it, my wife, standing next to me, didn't. Same network, both got Samsung phones of the same age and similar models.

 

[clicker]

No idea if mine had an audible alarm, was upstairs adjudicating.
Did find the text message later, but it vanished when I pressed a button.
Meanwhile they've gone out to eat Thai and I'll probably get nuked.

 

[LDC]

Asleep on the sofa when mine woke me up. Disappointed not a proper emergency.

[The39thStep]

Didn't get one here on my iphone with the sim from Virgin
