Oh, not only do you have to be living somewhere with 4G coverage to get a #UKEmergencyAlert but according to 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.
