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 the message, but no sound or vibrate.

ZenNudist · 23/04/2023 16:01

Minute early O2 and no noise on our samsungs

Abacusporttaco · 23/04/2023 16:02

I didn’t get it. At home, on Wifi, EE network. Oh well, maybe ignorance is bliss when it comes to being nuked.

wurtle · 23/04/2023 16:03

All our four Vodafone phones got the alert.

dubyalass · 23/04/2023 16:04

14:59 on Giffgaff, newish Motorola smartphone, got the (horrible) sound and the screen message. My work phone (iPhone SE, on Vodafone) also sounded, and I think possibly the work iPad too. So I'm alright.

PilatesPeach · 23/04/2023 16:06

My phone was on silent - I am on Voda with a Samsung and got it 14.58 an alarm sounded until I clicked ok

LumpySpaceGoddess · 23/04/2023 16:07

3 out of 4 phones got it.
My daughters Samsung is too old to get the alert.

SpringOn · 23/04/2023 16:07

I got it twice

once at 3, again at 3.05

O2, no second sim

Prettypaisleyslippers · 23/04/2023 16:07

I didn’t get it on 3 network but did on o2. Same model

HappilyContentTheseDays · 23/04/2023 16:08

I'm gutted....I was all excited about this (sad life eh!) but didn't get it. I was at work, others got the alert but not me. I'm on Three, I see others have said the same about the Three network.

I'm on ID network and didn't get it.

Me to and I didn't get it, my daughter is on 02 and she didn't get one. We're just back from spending her birthday money, so don't know if my OH had it.

Erictheavocado · 23/04/2023 16:09

Neither me nor DH got it. He was out with dgs, so connected to 4g network, I was at home connected to home WiFi. Different phones - his is about 3 years old, mine is less than 6 months old, flagship model for the brand. Only thing we have in common is that we are both with 3.

WeDoNotTalktoPennilynLott · 23/04/2023 16:10

Me, O2, iPhone got it
son in same house, giffgaff (so also O2) Sony phone got nothing

OnMyWayToSenility · 23/04/2023 16:10

Honestly this government is laughable! Me neither

Crochetpenguin · 23/04/2023 16:10

3 out of 4 of us got it. Iphone 13 on Tesco did not.

MopsySmithe · 23/04/2023 16:11

My daughter and I didn't get it.
My dh and ds did.

APseudonymNeeded · 23/04/2023 16:11

@PyongyangKipperbang our house are all on plusnet, all with iPhones.
2 out of 3 of us got alerts.

adularia · 23/04/2023 16:14

I haven’t had it either. Hadn’t turned it off, phone wasn’t on silent.

DH on the same network got it.

AandGMammy · 23/04/2023 16:14

It was delivered to my phone ok. I’m Irish and was just in NI for a visit at 3PM so was completely confused as to why I was getting an alert from the UK government about emergencies.😂

Iamnotalemming · 23/04/2023 16:16

We didn't get it but WiFi calling only where we love, don't know if that makes a difference.

MrsCarson · 23/04/2023 16:16

My Tesco iPhone was on do not disturb still from overnight and I got it loud and clear.

DH on the same network got it.

I’m with Vodafone and have an android phone a couple of years old.

Jebatronic · 23/04/2023 16:17

3 phone holders, only the person with a newer iPhone got it. Old models - nope ( so is this a richer persons alarm - newer phones only ? ) our second hand ones failed. So msg so far is save the planet but not yourself. I’d hate to think that this sort of thing will speed up the turnover of personal electronics when we should be slowing it down

Otterock · 23/04/2023 16:18

An iPhone on 3 network and I didn’t get it

MaidOfSteel · 23/04/2023 16:19

My Galaxy phone is only a couple of months old, on the 3 network, but I haven't had the alert yet. I think the settings are right. Ah well....
