I never received the #UKEmergencyAlert test on my phone which has led me to the only logical conclusion: I am one of the potential emergencies that scares this country.
Everyone saving their lives in a catastrophic event. Meanwhile "Three mobile" users: #threeuk #three #uk #ukemergencyalert
Yeah, I switched mine off so I wouldn't fall down the stairs or drill through my hand or something.
I wonder how many accidents it caused today?
Oh, not only do you have to be living somewhere with 4G coverage to get a #UKEmergencyAlert but according to https://www.gov.uk/alerts/how-alerts-work you also have to be able to afford a recent phone for it to be expected. Minimum Android version is 11, but earlier versions "may still be able to receive alerts". So the most up-to-date personal phone I have is 9, which didn't alert, and the one that's been irritating me with test alerts for ages is back on 5.
I didn't get the UK government alert on my phone. I turned it off. But imagine what they'd do if there were a danger to life. Based on their abandonment of UK civilians caught up in the Sudan civil war not much. With the Tories it's every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost.
UK national alerts
@acp Yep, three and iD Mobile devices didn't get it here.
Heard reports of some on three getting it, but no-one not on three missing out.
Severe Alerts = Incoming Nuke
Extreme Alerts = Greggs are about to run out of sausage rolls.
Whelp, that was loud. #ukemergencyalert
Anyone in the UK get the test emergency alert? #ukemergencyalert #ukalert
Great, 15:03... Some folks will have a 4 minute head start at the looting if this were real.
No-one I know who is on Three or the networks that use it, got the UK emergency alert… #UKEmergencyAlert
Mine went at 2:59!
Husband says: "We are truly living in the future"
I thought I was supposed to be a zombie now. Guess that's yet another thing the Government can't get working right. #UKEmergencyAlert Message came in, but no zombie symptoms.
Huh. My phone didn't go off with the emergency alarm, despite all the settings being on... #UKEmergencyAlert
