To be a bit excited about the 3pm alarm?

I'm interested to hear what it sounds like. For it to be going off all over the country at once, in all households and shops is exciting.

It's something completely new and feels kinda like something from Black mirror.

Maybe I'm just weird 😂

We were in the pub and had forgotten! Sirens everywhere.

Pinkpinkpuff · 23/04/2023 15:03

Mine didn’t go off. DH and our DC’s did though.

I think the voice goes off if you don't click OK straight away.

I didn't get a voice, maybe because I turned it off once it started.

It went off about 30 seconds early and wasn’t very loud Confused

Same, I wouldn’t have heard it if in a different room or upstairs

Sissynova · 23/04/2023 15:04

I didn’t turn mine off but none of the 4 phones in our house went off.

mumonthehill · 23/04/2023 15:04

Ds and dh went off but mine still has not had an alert.

DementedPanda · 23/04/2023 15:04

None of ours went off

Thelnebriati · 23/04/2023 15:04

Still nothing - I knew my phone was shite but this takes the biscuit. 🤣

I've not had it. My phone is british but I'm currently abroad.

It is done on your location so you won't get it if not in the UK.

Gothambutnotahamster · 23/04/2023 15:04

My work phone went off (O2) but nothing in my personal phone (3)?!!

WhathaveIdoneagain · 23/04/2023 15:04

DH and DS had it, I didn't.

ShagratandGorbag4ever · 23/04/2023 15:01

Well, it was a bit like the last time I had sex......over very quickly and not very exciting.

And a bit quiet

Greyarea12 · 23/04/2023 15:04

Mine & dd's went off. Wasn't loud enough imo.

BlankTimes · 23/04/2023 15:04

15:03 here 6 loud beeps and vibration.

Oubliette86 · 23/04/2023 15:04

Nothing here, guess I’m not on the chosen list 😂

You won't. It's trigger by the phone mast your phone is connected to. That's how the alerts are organised to only send to affected geographic areas.

NotTerfNorCis · 23/04/2023 15:04

It won't work unless you have 4G or 5G.

OneLittleFinger · 23/04/2023 15:04

Nothing here.

Fuckitydoodah · 23/04/2023 15:04

Well that was an anticlimax. Nothing happened on my phone. I've not knowingly switched alerts off.
