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 😂

Knew it was going to happen but time ran away with me so was startled when three phones went off within 2 yards. Minute early but effective as alarm.

Looks like iPhone & android went off at various times between 2.55 & 3.05.
Except for rhe ones that didn't.
Not confidence inspiring.

myheartmyhead · 23/04/2023 15:07

Mine has just gone off 15.07

@Cornettoninja you are obviously not interesting enough to the Government!

I wonder how this is going to work in reality - the noise was so horrible I immediately hit OK to get it to stop and didn't read a word of the message. If there was really something going on are you expected to read it while the sound is blaring?

OrangeRock · 23/04/2023 15:08

We had no voice! I wanted a voice!

Highworth · 23/04/2023 15:08

One here on EE went off at 2.59.
Nothing for me on Three.

Sehrgut · 23/04/2023 15:08

2 phones, no alarm.

VeggieSalsa · 23/04/2023 15:08

No voice on ours (iPhones), just the siren noise. Not loud enough for me to hear from the next room and only knew about it as I got a silent vibrate notification on my Apple Watch

handsoffate · 23/04/2023 15:08

Also that was so bloody loud that I’m glad I wasn’t driving or up a ladder!

Gingerbeerfear · 23/04/2023 15:08

Nothing here. Perhaps I will wait for the carrier pigeon 👍

Stillwearingskinnys · 23/04/2023 15:08

Mine didn’t go off, all kids did

rainbowstardrops · 23/04/2023 15:08

Two iPhones and an iPad here and absolutely NOTHING!!!!

What a fricking shambles!!!!

chipsandpeas · 23/04/2023 15:08

work phone on vodafone got it, my phone on 3 didnt

Aurignacian · 23/04/2023 15:08

I didn’t get it on my personal phone but did on my work phone

Forfrigz · 23/04/2023 15:08

Underwhelming, 1/10 alert for conspiracist fodder

MyFaceIsAnAONB · 23/04/2023 15:08

None went off here, guess we had them turned off already 😄

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 23/04/2023 15:08

No voice, just sirens.

I'm on Three as well, no alarm

froginawell · 23/04/2023 15:08

Sons went off. Mine didn't. Seems not to be a universal success, unless they are planning to save on pensions by culling the over 50's....

NormalForNuneaton · 23/04/2023 15:08

BreadMeUp · 23/04/2023 15:05

4 phones and all ours went off. Slightly different times though.

4 phones here and none of them have gone off

Firewalk · 23/04/2023 15:08

Nothing here. I'm a bit let down, doesn't inspire faith!

PaulaYatesSmile · 23/04/2023 15:08

teenagetantrums · 23/04/2023 15:07

Mines gone off 4 times now...l need to make it stop🤣

Now that's just showing off 🤣

Colinorpercy · 23/04/2023 15:08

Same 🙄

Georgi5 · 23/04/2023 15:08

2.59 for me and no voice?! Just the siren.
