so, did your phone receive the alert? If it was turned on and enabled?

not very good coverage here at all - unless it comes later...

YABU - my phone got the alert

YANBU - my phone was switched on and enabled, but received no alert

Yes, it made me jump on dog walk just now.

No message came though though.

yanbu

nothing here on any phones, all enabled

oakleaffy · 23/04/2023 15:09

Three high pitched blasts.

tweener · 23/04/2023 15:09

Switched on, alerts enabled. No alert here, two phones in the house.

mnahmnah · 23/04/2023 15:09

We have four phones in the house. All enabled and 5G. No alarms.

Spottycarousel · 23/04/2023 15:09

Didn't work on my phone

cantkeepawayforever · 23/04/2023 15:10

Nor on mine

Iwasafool · 23/04/2023 15:10

Nothing here, I turned mine off as I was experimenting to find out how to do it, but two other phones and nothing.

Badgerandfox227 · 23/04/2023 15:10

Had sound, vibrations and a message

PinkButtercups · 23/04/2023 15:11

Yes at 14:59 to be precise nearly shat myself.

StrawberryMoore · 23/04/2023 15:11

Yes all 5 phones, all iPhones on EE network.

JMSA · 23/04/2023 15:11

I received the message and the accompanying bleeps ... even though my phone was on silent.

DustyLee123 · 23/04/2023 15:11

Yes, we all got it.

chipsandpeas · 23/04/2023 15:11

2 phones only got the alert on 1 - my work phone on vodaphone, my personal phone on 3 didnt get it and was enabled

Fibonacci13 · 23/04/2023 15:11

Worked on mine. Dog had just dropped off for an afternoon nap and the poor thing nearly flew through the ceiling! Must have been an odd frequency to startle him like that

how can something so simple get messed up so badly? Was it contracted out to Boris's nephew's sister-in-law's aunty's ferry company or something?

It did. Made me jump. I was the only one in the house to receive it though…and there are 3 working phones.

PatriciaHolm · 23/04/2023 15:11

Nope! Three of us here, nothing happened...

PaulaYatesSmile · 23/04/2023 15:12

Yes got the alarm plus message. The message has stayed in my notifications on iPhone.

oakleaffy · 23/04/2023 15:12

I’m located 110 miles from London
could location make a difference?
( If nuclear ☢️ Target?)
I got alarm but no message

LudicrouslyCapaciousBag · 23/04/2023 15:12

Yes, early at 14.59. Several family members didn’t get it, however.

Topseyt123 · 23/04/2023 15:12

Nothing for me! 😭 So far. DH, DD2 and DD2's boyfriend have all had it and I heard their phones go off.

Everything is enabled on my phone, and DD2 has the same phone as me.

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 23/04/2023 15:12

I thought I wasn't going to get it, but it finally came through at 3.10.

I thought it might have been because I'm on WiFi calling, so put it in the window where there's signal after DPs went off and mine didn't, but it still took a good 8 mins to come through even with signal.

Auntieobem · 23/04/2023 15:12

4 phones, all enabled, no alert

AutumnCrow · 23/04/2023 15:13

Nope, nothing. And the neighbours both sides had nothing. We're doomed in Goggins Road.
