Was just about to leave for work today and DWs phone pinged with what looked like a very genuine message about "Testing the network for emergency communications" (or somesuch similar).

It wasn't asking for anything and looked quite official.

Anyone else ? I didn't get one on my (Giff Gaff) phone ....

I am with 02 and had a message from them last week. Scared the pants off me to hear my phone telling me this was an emergency broadcast!! Discovered it only does this with Bluetooth on.
