Did everyone get that text??

[Helenj1977]

GOV.UK CORONAVIRUS ALERT
New rules in force now: you must stay at home. More info & exemptions at gov.uk/coronavirus Stay at home. Protect the NHS. Save lives.

It’s not that text it’s a general text

Nope. Neither did DP.

Yes just me not DH.

As at 11.15am no

Nope.

Just recieved I'm a W surname so usually last 😆

Yes at 8.30am.

No (giffgaff)

No.

It isn't for people who are vulnerable, that's a different text. The general one is for everybody.

Not yet, I’m with three

I deleted mine because I thought it was a scam! Oops 🤦‍♀️

I can NOT believe this didn't happen earlier since they have the capacity to do it. Bloody beyond belief. And of course, no way of contacting the over80s/90s who don't have mobiles! They could have done automated voice messages or something. I can only think this lack of comms is intentional.
Still, glad to see it now.

Yes I did I’m on sky

Is there more than one? I've just recieved one but mines different to the one in the OP?

You must follow Government advice and stay at home. You may receive more detailed advice re your health condition soon. Visit www.nhs.uk

I have underlying health conditions so thought it might be the vulnerable message they mentioned on Sunday, but my DH also recieved the above message and he doesn't have any underlying conditions??

5 Live reported it's a scam...don't know if that's accurate!

Dh has had his now but I havent - both EE

This is the one going to everyone

Not everyone will get it, it's only people deemed vulnerable.

Everyone will get one who has a UK sim. It's being sent by the phone networks.

Yeah I got it

Yes

@PleaseStopCrying
That's your instruction to self-isolate. It means you're part of the vulnerable group.

The text people are talking about is different. It's being sent to everybody. Adam Boulton on Sky News showed his this morning. There are no instructions on it to self-isolate, it just says people should stay at home.

I did at 7:51am
Nobody else in my house did though

There was a paragraph in the paper that the "Government" does not have the ability to send that sort of message to all mobile phones

Yes, I’m on EE.

Nope and I’m with Giffgaff, no one in my house has and we are all Giffgaff.
