My DS who is on vodaphone got one.

None of the rest of us have gotten it

Ps, I knew you were being lighthearted!

90bisodol · 24/03/2020 11:57

My 13yo got this text, tbh my 1st thought was it was a scam but having read this thread, seems like it's genuine.

peony68 · 24/03/2020 11:59

BT mobile here but haven't received

CatherineOfAragonsPomegranate · 24/03/2020 12:02

Nope. Not a thing here. Virgin network

(maybe I don't exist in the system officially, yay!)

@90bisodol Who in their right mind would read the contents of that text and think it’s a scam - what’s the scam supposed to be? The web link is in plain text too

Nquartz · 24/03/2020 12:04

I did, DH didn't, both on Three

Marieo · 24/03/2020 12:06

SunshineCake · 24/03/2020 12:13

I did at 9.53 this morning and DS2, aged 14 got it about an hour ago. Everyone is getting it but obviously not all at the same time.

VadenuRewetje · 24/03/2020 12:13

I saw a news article that said it was going to be sent. It will take all day - 60 million messages are going to take a while to send, some may not come through till much later. DH has had his, mine hasn't come through yet.

Doggybiccys · 24/03/2020 12:14

Zoom meeting with 16 colleagues this morning - one person got it, the rest didn't, myself included and I would put myself in high risk group.

Justaboy · 24/03/2020 12:14

Nowt thus far on Voodofone..

BigcatLittlecat · 24/03/2020 12:16

I'm with virgin and I haven't had it yet!

ginghamtablecloths · 24/03/2020 12:18

Yes, I got it.

UtterTwaddle · 24/03/2020 12:18

O2 here - I haven’t had it.

SunshineCake · 24/03/2020 12:18

Please stop posting things unless you fully know.

The text as per the OP is due to roll out to everyone.

People who are vulnerable are due to get letters.

My son received the text and is 100% non vulnerable.

Dh and I are.

Bluntness100 · 24/03/2020 12:19

No, and neither has my husband, we are on o2 and Vodafone,

Bouledeneige · 24/03/2020 12:25
