Poll: Public emergency alerts to be sent to all UK mobile phones

[Kelt]

You had a voice?

Yeh, and an American one.

Well done UK.gov, well done.

I've not changed any setting on my Poco F3, took do not disturb off 10mins ago, Three PAYG... Not a peep.

Prevented by battery saver?

 

[steve45]

WTF I never even got an alert. I've even got it enabled... Oh well guess I'm screwed if an alert really does go out!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Have alerts enabled but didn't receive anything on my phone, iPhone on Three.

 

[Droolinggimp]

Well, I'm dead if that goes of during my naps. Wasn't loud or at all.

 

[Burton200]

no alert for me

 

[Maccapacca]

Kingdom of fear

 

[Rroff]

My dad's went off like others at 14:59 but no one else in the house had it on their phone, weird.

I've not changed any setting on my Poco F3, took do not disturb off 10mins ago... Not a peep.

RIP to you in a real event.

 

[SexyGreyFox]

Four phones in the house and not one went off

Just shows how far behind the rest of the World we are.

 

[VaderDSL]

Have alerts enabled but didn't receive anything on my phone, iPhone on Three.

Ditto

They should have made it sound like the alarm from The Purge series of movies. Everyone would really have been peeing themselves then

I have a Pico F3, and I got the American alert.

 

[floatindolphin]

Nothing here, I’m on Three too

My daughters went off

 

[Spannerhead]

no alert for me

its like some people are more expendable than others.

weird how this system works

 

[Mr-Xoc]

No alert here and it is enabled. Nice to see its run with the usual British efficiency

 

[thenewoc]

I never got one either, although my phone was on 'Do not disturb'. I thought it was meant to override that setting, with it being an emergency.

 

[smilertoo]

My iphone13 did nothing despite having all alerts enabled.
*It went off 5 mins late after i enabled mobile data, typical useless UK system.

 

[steve45]

Ditto

Samsung on Three... How odd.

why is there a zombie banging on my door ?
