Did everyone get that text??

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.

My work phone got it.
It has nothing to do with vulnerability.

This will be a part of the last push at getting people to start using common sense before Army is brought in officially and not just doing what they are at the moment.

No

Oh if your phone has a separate bit for junk texts, check there. THat's where mine was.

I haven't had if yet my husband has though

Yes I did, slightly freaked out, how did they get all of our numbers? Maybe it is a subtle reminder that they are able to exercise powers, a subliminal message to remind us all.

Nope

I got it on my work phone, which is ironic, as they’re saying we don’t have to follow guidelines when at work. But not on my own phone.

No. But a pal in Norn Iron just got it.

@cornishdreams1
I’m presuming the mobile operators have a list of every mobile number and that’s what they are using

Yes received it at breakfast time.

As someone said up thread. The mobile companies are probably staggering the sending of messages so the system is not overwhelmed. I would think this will take a number of hours

DD and I on Tesco Mobile, not had a text yet (we were isolating anyway as vulnerable).
DH on Vodafone, not had one either. He's isolating

...he's isolating too, but is designated shopper.

I’m on Tesco mobile not had one yet either

Not yet

The text referred to in the OP is for everyone apparently.

The text for the 1.5 million vulnerable people (which may come as a letter or a text - mine is a text) states that it's from the NHS Coronavirus service and specifically states that you're someone at risk of severe illness and must stay at home for a minimum of 12 weeks.

No. And I'm on a main network.

Mine has just come through.

yes
I must be speshul

message about texts here

No, I’m with o2.

I did

Yep.

Yes, with o2

Ah, just got it now (giffgaff).

Yeah I got it- I work for the NHS so I'm in work
