Emergency test.. today!

There will be an emergency alert on selected Android phones today from the government between 1pm and 2pm.

In the articles I've read they say it might cause the phone to make a noise, and/or might be a special text message.

I have an android phone, though its running an older version so I'm not sure if I'll get it. But if anyone on the forum gets the alert post here to say what happened.

Of course, the conspiracy people are wondering why we need a national alert system now.

Some people may receive an alert message on Tuesday as the Government tests its new Emergency Alert system.

Owners of Android phones across the UK may receive an alert between 1pm and 2pm on Tuesday 22 June, which may prompt their device to make a loud siren-like sound.

An announcement on the Government website says: “Some mobile phone networks in the UK are testing emergency alerts between 1pm and 2pm.

“If you have an Android device, there’s a small chance you may get a test alert. Your device may make a loud siren-like sound.”

This was similar to what I saw;
