Couldn't understand a word.
What accent was that ?

Mine only has a short siren sound. No words.

PilatesPeach · 07/09/2025 15:08

Mine had no words just the sound of the alarm

ToffeeFroyo · 07/09/2025 15:08

I haven't had anything at all.

JenniferBooth · 07/09/2025 15:08

Havent had mine yet.

maisie123 · 07/09/2025 15:08

Mine didn't say anything, just a text message. Which i didn't read as it was so ear piercing, I shut it off without thinking.

Ddakji · 07/09/2025 15:08

Mine was a siren sound, nearly gave me a bloody heart attack 🤣🤣🤣

GentleSheep · 07/09/2025 15:08

Nothing here. DP had the alert with a voice message afterwards. Didn't pay attention to the accent!

TeapotTallulah · 07/09/2025 15:09

DD didn’t get one on her O2 phone. I got one on Vodafone. There was no talking though. Just a noise, vibration and written message.

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 07/09/2025 15:09

Just a siren and a written message- but my phone lives on silent with the volume down.

Cornettoninja · 07/09/2025 15:09

I didn’t get one last time so it’s nice to know I’m no longer on the ‘sacrifice list’ 😁

Sprogonthetyne · 07/09/2025 15:09

Mine just made the high pitch noise and brought up a text box. The I didn't even read it because closing it seemed to be the only way to make the noise stop.

GroovyChick87 · 07/09/2025 15:10

Didn't get it at all.

whoboo · 07/09/2025 15:10

My DD got one in O2 as did I on BT/EE but DH didn’t. Don’t think it was nothing to do with network.

Avantiagain · 07/09/2025 15:12

I turned my phone off before 3 to avoid it but it sounded when I turned it back on again.

whoboo · 07/09/2025 15:13

I thought it was fun, should just do it at random, keep us on our toes.

Me too. No misunderstandings, a loud siren and a text.

My daughter got a speaking voice on her's. Sounded like a computerised British accent.

I didn't get it, think I'm being left to fend for myself.

PeonyBulb · 07/09/2025 15:15

I had words a message but no sound on my iPhone

My parents had a buzzing for 2 mins at 3pm on their Samsung android

DeanStockwelll · 07/09/2025 15:15

I had the siren and voice message, it was a bit odd because I am using Bluetooth headphones , the voice msg came through my ( EE) phone 1st with about ½ second delay then my headphones so it sounded like a echo.

It wasn't as loud as I thought it would be .
