PCR test result text when I didn’t take a test..

Bit of a weird one… anyone ever a text alert for a covid test result for a PCR on a day they didn’t take one?

I did have a PCR the day before it states (2nd August test, this text says 3rd) and received the results as normal. Is this just a system glitch and has anyone else had this?

I got one an hour or two ago too. My original result came through this morning.

BergamotandLime · 04/08/2021 23:46

Me too. Got a result tonight of test taken on Saturday but with wrong date.

Dd took test on 30th that was negative.
She had a second text earlier for a test on 31st as well.
Glad to hear others getting the same as she was confused by it.

I know someone who booked a test, but didn't actually take it as they were running late, and got a positive text next day. Bonkers.

blackcurrantqueen · 04/08/2021 23:59

I've just had the exact same thing too for my negative result but not for my daughters positive result!
Both done on 31st, just got a repeat text with mine but saying 1st!

@TonyThreePies

I've got the opposite. Test 2 weeks ago and still haven't received the results. Perhaps you've all received mine?
In that case, I must have got your test result too... congratulations, you are negative.

Another test and trace fuck up that will have cost us a few million...

I’m hoping Matt H didn’t cancel the Unlimited Data Plan before he left.....

HelpWithWhereToStart · 05/08/2021 00:47

Same here! Text at 10.44 about a test on 30 July that I didn’t take (I did take one on the 29th, and got results by email, but not by text, on the morning of the 30th). Weird!

kimlo · 05/08/2021 06:27

me too.

Woke up to a text that came through at 11.30, but no email and no text or email with the code to put in to the app.

Boxme · 05/08/2021 06:37

Yes got one here too. Test taken on the 3rd and result on the 4th really early hours. Another text late on the 4th giving results of test taken on the 4th

HowdyDudey · 05/08/2021 07:00

Just make sure your isolation period isn’t extended as a result of the glitch.

clickychicky · 05/08/2021 07:05

Thank goodness for this thread! Yes I had mine and the children's sent through again. Very confusing as one of the children had been done again yesterday and I thought it had come back super quick!

I wonder what's going on!

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 05/08/2021 07:06

Same here. Got a text at 11:30 last night saying my test on 1 August was negative. Except I didn’t take a test on 1 August. I did take one on 31 July and had the result of that on 1 August.
Gremlins?

chocolateoranges33 · 05/08/2021 07:08

Same here- it came through at 9.45pm

FlamingGoat · 05/08/2021 07:13

Yep. I had one last night too.
Luckily it was still negative 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pushkinia · 05/08/2021 07:14

The result from the test I took on Tuesday has now been texted to me 3 times! Glad it isn’t just me.

User5827372728 · 05/08/2021 07:17

Yes just got a text from a test I took on 1st and got results for on 2nd. Luckily was still negative!

kimlo · 05/08/2021 07:17

I've looked at my test results on the nhs app. The actual test results are there, the glitch results the next day aren't.

StuntNun · 05/08/2021 07:19

I just got one as well. How strange!

clickychicky · 05/08/2021 07:25

@kimlo

That's reassuring
sanityisamyth · 05/08/2021 07:32

Opposite problem here!! DS and I took tests yesterday. His results have come through to my phone but mine haven't!!

If any of you have my test results I'd be grateful if you let me know!! 🤣

2Hot2Handle · 05/08/2021 07:50

Yes me too! Received a text yesterday for a test I had a week ago, but the test date on the text is the day after I actually had it. So weird! Seems like something is going wrong with the logging system?!

AbsolutelyPatsy · 05/08/2021 07:52

yes i did!

loosingmymarbles · 05/08/2021 07:54

I got one last night and so did my OH!! About 10 o'clock we got the PCR test result that we did last week and wrong date !! Strange

clickychicky · 05/08/2021 20:19

I wonder if they've double counted my test for their "test taken" stats
