Well that's us buggered in an emergency. Anyone else in the same boat and didn't get it delivered to their phone?

DH got it at 2.59 (Vodafone) I haven’t got it at all (Smarty) 🤷‍♀️ I’m a bit disappointed!

Notonthestairs · 23/04/2023 15:18

It only went to 4 & 5 G devices.

Gingerlygreen · 23/04/2023 15:19

I'm on 3 and didn't get it.

PsychoHotSauce · 23/04/2023 15:19

I didn't, and I'm with three. It seems very short sighted of three to let all their paying customers perish in a disaster! Grin

This, presumably, is one of the purposes of the test, and will be reviewed.

bellinisurge · 23/04/2023 15:19

DH is on EE - he got it moments before me (O2)

HyuNis · 23/04/2023 15:20

I got siren on my iPhone, Vodafone.
My work Samsung on EE got the text and flashing warning triangle but no noise

I have a 5G one. Didn’t get it.

Nimbostratus100 · 23/04/2023 15:20

we are all on 4G and got nothing

Roserunner · 23/04/2023 15:22

I'm on ID network and didn't get it. The only thing I think may have blocked it was I was driving so my phone goes into driving mode and restricts some things on my phone!??

AutisticLegoLover · 23/04/2023 15:23

Mine alarmed briefly EE. Neighbours went on for longer but still not long. Easy to miss completely.

angela99999 · 23/04/2023 15:23

I didn't get it on my Samsung mobile though my WEA was definitely turned on. I don't think it makes a difference which network you're on, but I'm on Virgin.

tailinthejam · 23/04/2023 15:24

I didn't get it either, but DH did and we were only about 4 feet apart at the time.

whoruntheworldgirls · 23/04/2023 15:25

I got it, iPhone on plusnet

CirreltheSquirrel · 23/04/2023 15:25

I didn't get it and there are two other phones in the house - I didn't hear either of them go off either (I'm in a different room and CBA to get up and check!)

bloodywhitecat · 23/04/2023 15:25

Plusnet (so EE) and a Google phone, it finally came through at 15:21. DH also on Plusnet and an Honor phone, his came through at 14:59 (but he's no longer with us so he doesn't really need an alert!)

00100001 · 23/04/2023 15:26

4 out of 5 in our house got it... strange!

hedgehoglurker · 23/04/2023 15:26

On giffgaff. 4 x 4g/5g Samsung phones in the house. None alerted.

Littlebluebellwoods · 23/04/2023 15:27

I didn’t get it on iPad or iPhone, on o2 and my husbands 2 phones ne tablet didn’t get it on Vodafone…very odd

LilyRose88 · 23/04/2023 15:27

Got it at 2.59 on my iPhone on Plusnet.

RatSlave · 23/04/2023 15:27

2 phones on ID here didn't get it.

ditalini · 23/04/2023 15:28

Only 1 out of 3 mobiles here got it. The other two turned out ti have emergency alerts disabled, presumably by default as neither of us had ever looked at alert settings.

BumpyaDaisyevna · 23/04/2023 15:28

My Dd got it at 1522...

Crunchymum · 23/04/2023 15:28

Minute early for me too (EE)

CheesusWept · 23/04/2023 15:28

I got it on my personal and my work phone - 3 and O2 networks.
My daughter on giffgaff never got it.
