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

I got it on my personal and work phone. Daughter didn't get it (iD mobile) I joked that it's because she's not vaccinated so didn't need her chip activating 🤣 Gotta love the conspiracy theories all over social media.

I didn’t get it either. iPhone 13 if that makes a difference.
I just know that if it does indeed go off, it’s going to be I least expect it!

Got it but it didn't pop up, or make a noise. Phone was on silent but thought it was supposed to override.

When I dragged the notification bar down at the top, there was a notification in there.

Being reported that some phones didn't get it

Didn't get the emergency alert at 3pm!

I got mine op. I'm with VOXI

3 phone household here. Asda Mobile (Vodaphone carrier) turned up at about 3pm. I switched my phone off in advance and the alert sounded as soon as 8 switched it back on at about 3:05pm.

Minute early. O2 network

Same.

I didn't get it, iPhone 12 on the Three network.

Theoldcuriosityshop · 23/04/2023 15:35

No, nothing.

CandyCaneLane0 · 23/04/2023 15:37

3 phones in the house and none went off

RoonilWazlib21 · 23/04/2023 15:38

Nothing here either (2 phones)

tailinthejam · 23/04/2023 15:40

I suppose this is the whole point of them testing it in the first place.

Staticgirl · 23/04/2023 15:40

I didn't get it on my home Samsung 3 network phone but i think its version of Android was too old anyway. My work Samsung on O2 got it.

siriusblackcat · 23/04/2023 15:41

DH on 02 got it. Me and the 2 DCs on ID didn't get it.

ArabeIIaScott · 23/04/2023 15:41

Well, I'd turned alerts off, so it worked for me in that I didn't get one.

Greenfairydust · 23/04/2023 15:41

So another useless and ill-planned initiative then...

siriusblackcat · 23/04/2023 15:41

My Dad has a basic mobile that doesn't even have the Internet and he got the alert through.

It was a test: part of testing is to see what needs to be fixed.

Im on iD mobile, not sure who iD piggy bag off of but no alert for me.

My phone is so dry I can't even get the government to text back.

Vonniespence · 23/04/2023 15:43

Not received anything regarding the alert.

Do you know what the purpose of a 'test' is?

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 23/04/2023 15:43

It was a test.... I guess part of the review will be which networks/models/locations didn't get it. Don't know how this will be measured though!

overitunderit · 23/04/2023 15:43

I was on a crowded train and only a very small number of people got it. A bit of a failure!
