Nothing here and mixed responses for others locally it seems

Marsyas · 23/04/2023 15:11

I'm at a (very wet) event and phones were going off between 2.59 and 3:04. It wasn't as loud as you'd think given there are around 400 people here

Buildingthefuture · 23/04/2023 15:11

2 iPhones 2 iPads and nothing!

newjobnewstartihope · 23/04/2023 15:11

4 iPhones and an iPad in the house and absolutely nothing

Crystalsandpebbles · 23/04/2023 15:11

8 minutes late on mine. DH's came through earlier.

Nottamug · 23/04/2023 15:11

All our phones went off at exactly the same time bang on 3pm .

Pestispeeved · 23/04/2023 15:11

Still waiting here.
DH got one at 14.59

Ohhelpicantthinkofaname · 23/04/2023 15:12

We had nothing. Dds are out and peoples they were with had them, but nothing for us.

PuppyMonkey · 23/04/2023 15:12

Loads of people on Twitter saying they didn’t get it. Mine was 14.59.

EskSmith · 23/04/2023 15:13

Dd 14.59, me & DH work phone 15.01. DH own phone 15.10.

With a 5min warning DH would get -5 minutes 😁

Buddythecat1 · 23/04/2023 15:13

2.59 here for two of our phones
One of them read the alert out loud but mine was just the notification

RainBow725 · 23/04/2023 15:13

Interesting that it didn't work for so many people. Me neither. Sat next to my phone and iPad. I wonder why 🤔

Iwasfeelingepic · 23/04/2023 15:13

I was waiting patiently for it then when I googled, it says only phones with 4 or 5gs would have the alarm. We only have 3g on our phones

FanSpamTastic · 23/04/2023 15:13

Nothing so far! Not on my personal or work phone? Both are with Vodafone - is it particular providers not working?

Towelin · 23/04/2023 15:14

Multiple phones in our house and not a single alert!

Idontgiveashitanymore · 23/04/2023 15:14

2.59 for me dh about 10 seconds after me . Both sat together

Divorcedalongtime · 23/04/2023 15:15

DIL’s just went off now (15.12) still waiting for one of my DS to go off

Iamclearlyamug · 23/04/2023 15:16

14.59 with my android phone

Veryverycalmnow · 23/04/2023 15:17

I didn't get one either!

BSB30 · 23/04/2023 15:17

Mine was 14:59 - EE network.
DH 14:59 - Tesco Mobile

RainyReadingDay · 23/04/2023 15:17

DD got the alarm at 14:59. I was standing next to her, we have exactly the same make & model of phone, and I didn't get anything. Waste of time.

Nellieinthebarn · 23/04/2023 15:17

3:13, better late than never I suppose.

IhearyouClemFandango · 23/04/2023 15:17

Mine just went off at 1517 😂

Norugratsatall · 23/04/2023 15:18

DH and both DDs got an alarm but I got nothing....😕

BSB30 · 23/04/2023 15:18

Michaelmonstera · 23/04/2023 15:05

It was loud - the dog was startled

My dog wasn't impressed either. She looked at my phone as if to say "what the heck is that" 😂
