Yes. I got it.

AlexaShutUp · 24/03/2020 10:47

No, and neither did DH or DD. We're all on Three Mobile, not sure if they were sending it out.

TheEmojiFormerlyKnownAsPrince · 24/03/2020 10:48

Nope. I’m on Vodafone who are monumentally crap in my experience

weebarra · 24/03/2020 10:48

We didn't but DS1 who is 12 did!

tigger1001 · 24/03/2020 10:49

I got it

MrsChoc · 24/03/2020 10:49

The message should be coming to all UK phones during the course of the day. (Not got mine yet)

awesomeaircraft · 24/03/2020 10:49

Yes.

It has been confirmed as genuine on the BBC:

Casino218 · 24/03/2020 10:49

Nope

Namethecat · 24/03/2020 10:51

Both with EE - nothing yet !

Watto1 · 24/03/2020 10:54

They can’t send them all out at once or the system would crash. Dh and I both with EE. I must have been one of the first to get the message. DH’s arrived literally 30 seconds ago.

CuppaZa · 24/03/2020 10:55

Yes. A few weeks too late

MashedSpud · 24/03/2020 11:00

DH got his now too. Both on same network.

shuuush · 24/03/2020 11:00

Yep

fruitybum · 24/03/2020 11:02

Me on EE

Yes I did and so did my DH

calamariqueen · 24/03/2020 11:08

Nope I'm on O2 & nothing yet, but I'm rural so maybe being sent by postcode area??

derekmorgan · 24/03/2020 11:09

I did.

ageingdisgracefully · 24/03/2020 11:09

Yup. Only on my works phone though.

My own phone is on s different network.

Wannabangbang · 24/03/2020 11:09

Not me

Roomba · 24/03/2020 11:10

No texts arrived at my house yet (all on giffgaff).

Peaseblossom22 · 24/03/2020 11:11

Yes I am on EE

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 24/03/2020 11:12

Not everyone will get it, it's only people deemed vulnerable.
I didn't get one and aren't expecting one.

MashedSpud · 24/03/2020 11:13

DH and I aren’t deemed vulnerable but we both got the text. I think everyone will get the text eventually.

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 24/03/2020 11:13

Ah just seen it's not the vulnerable one, I don't think?
That might be a different text.
That just looks like a generic one sent to everyone. If so not got it yet.
