      Seemed to work fine for me. Didn’t seem as loud as the last test though.

      Anyone’s kids using a phone with google family link? Daughters phone was the only one that didn’t go off and the setting for it isn’t there.

    3. CassetteLine on

      Did anyone else not receive this?

      My phone, and my wife’s both didn’t go off.

    4. willNffcUk on

      Don’t understand why so many people freaking out about it but people love to complain

    5. aembleton on

      Seemed to go off twice on my wifes iPhone about 10 minutes apart, and only once on my Android. We’re both on Lebara.

      Got the last emergency alert they tested but not this one!!!

      I forgot this was happening and almost had a bloody heart attack.

      Just said this in another thread but comments were locked before I could post it –

      I find it very bizarre the way some people are annoyed by this, and as the person I was replying to said, take a kind of pride in boasting they’ve turned them off.

      Now I can *kind of* buy into the whole “the government is trying to control us type stuff” certainly in regards to some recent legislation like the Online Safety Act. But certainly not the whole daft nonsense about chemtrails and vaccines or cashless society (that’s their latest one).

      But I do find that the people who believe in the latter nonsense are the ones getting annoyed by this.

      It’s an alert, and from a technical viewpoint is literally outbound only – it isn’t even sent to “your phone” it is simply burst out from all cell towers and goes to *every phone* within range. The system can’t even tell how many phones it hit, because it is strictly outbound only, just by design.

      Yet the same people proudly boasting “I’ve got mine turned off, the government can’t get involved in my life” are doing so on the internet, and the government can (and will if you’re doing something you shouldn’t) monitor *everything* you do online.

      And don’t even get me started on HMRC – they can find out what you had for breakfast on your seventh birthday if they so wish.

      So I really am failing to see why people are boasting about turning these off.

      Best case scenario they’re warning of flooding. Do they just want to be stranded if there’s incoming floods? Here’s an idea – if one of these is sent out, you get trapped by floods, you need to be rescued at great expense, and you’re found to have turned these alerts off, you have to pay for your own rescue.

      Then there’s the big one – in the unlikely event of nuclear attack a lot of the opposition to the idea is simply that nuclear war is simply no survivable so therefore pointless to be warned about it. LONG explanation so I won’t type it out, but this simply isn’t true.

      Kinda assumed it was my air conditioner about to explode at first.

    10. GrayAceGoose on

      In an severe emergency, is a Welsh translation even needed?

      Mewn argyfwng difrifol, a oes angen cyfieithiad Cymraeg?

    12. SevenNites on

      It doesn’t work if you’re on WiFi calling + airplane mode

    13. ken96uk on

      Nothing happened on either of our phones, both on O2, so put this down to another failure,

    14. TelevisionVast5819 on

      Its 15:13 and still people phones are going off. Surely it’s not a great test if they’re supposed to alert at 3pm

    15. cheeseley6 on

      Should have happened during that crank quacks antivax speech at the Reform cult gathering yesterday.

    16. NeedMoreDrugs1 on

      Forgot about it and was just emerging from an afternoon nap. National emergencies require far better timing in the future.

    17. Stealth_Bummer on

      Got it 12 minutes after the test. But I was the only one in the house who got a alert.

    18. bbyn0money on

      Local community moaner page is crying that it scared their animals and children. Lots of could they not have a SILENT EMERGENCY alarm..

    19. Usedbeef on

      Forgot about it and it scared the absolute shit out of me. Now going to the loo.

    20. Look-over-there-ag on

      Is it just me or was this one quieter than the last one I remember the last one being crazy loud

    21. Sparko_Marco on

      I didn’t get it, never got it last time either. My phones only 7 years old so not that old but could be the reason.

    22. Polar-Snow on

      Got this one but useless cos I was thinking why my iPhone not vibrated yet? It gone way past 3pm and expecting it failed so checked my iPhone and got one. Seems it make noise only I think and defo no vibration at all and useless for Deaf people. Vibration defo on and working cos text around if anyone got it and did it vibrate? Seen noise only.

    23. madcow87_ on

      Worked fine for the lads in the work shop at work. There’s likely going to be a few wrists slapped tomorrow as they’re not supposed to have their mobiles out there and collectively it sounded like the town hall was making the noise.

    24. SnaggleFish on

      Did not get it (or the previous one).

      Android 15, 5G (apparently), all settings enabled.

      I feel left out.

    25. fell_stone on

      Aside from nuclear war why would we need this, like I appreciate having it, but in event of atomic destruction I’d rather spend my last 15 minutes wonderfully oblivious 😅

    26. iamparky on

      It woke me up, which rather spoiled my enjoyment of the Grand Prix.

    27. disper on

      Apparently there is a delay, it’s like that urban legend of someone jumping to their death if their phone doesn’t ring and he saw the phone was ringing when he was passing by the window on his way down

    28. InternationalReport5 on

      Anyone else have an illegible text to speech voice alongside the beep sound? It was too fast to hear anything. I know blind people are pretty accustomed to listening to super fast TTS but seems weird for this to be the default.

      I haven’t changed the TTS speed in my accessibility settings.

    29. lithaborn on

      I don’t think “oh it’s 3 o’clock” is the correct reaction to an emergency broadcast but there ya go.

    30. RaggedSlugger21 on

      Shouldn’t have had my phone in my pocket, that alert made me jump lmao

    31. james2183 on

      Did anyone else get a voice on theirs? I just got the siren but my mate had a voice come through his

    32. Loreki on

      I’m at an airport. They had announcements every 5 minutes leading up, reminding people not to panic.

    33. andrew0256 on

      I rearranged our tables and chairs and made a shelter of the doors. How long have we got?

      No one under 40 will understand this.

    35. sveferr1s on

      No point complaining. Just disable emergency alerts on your devices.

      I fail to see the need for these things though. But then again, as we saw during the madness of COVID, some people are happy for the state to control every aspect of their lives. The government is even happier to control them.

    36. DoomguyFemboi on

      …Live updates ?

      > In Manchester a bloke heard his phone make a weird noise. Went “what’s that ?” looked at phone, said “oh weird” then sat back down. Back to the studio

    37. InternationalRich150 on

      Scared the pants off my son,startled me tbf. But I was quietly reading on my kindle so didn’t know the time.
      Sons autistic and was ok once I explained the reason for phones screaming haha.

      Feels a bit dramatic but i guess if we ever need it,it’ll be for good reason.

    38. OG-Brass-Monkey on

      Why did we lose a minute when it happened?
      I was looking at my watch which is set to the atomic clock and it went forward by a minute. As did my mobile phone and my daughter’s mobile phone.
      The alarm was at 15;00 and the clocks went to 15:01 immediately.
      Was this announced?

    39. InformationNew66 on

      Was it supposed to be 3 PM? Seems like it’s late like trains.

    41. sigwinch28 on

      Made me clench and cut halfway through a satisfying turd. Down with this sort of thing!

    42. Away-Activity-469 on

      Because the sound freaked me out and I thought my phone was overheating or something, I didn’t read whatever the notification said. Just pressed the X automatically.

      If they want to actually convey information through this method, it needs a rethink. A less alarming alarm and a message you must acknowledge before dismissal.

    43. xenaines on

      Ngl, i was in the shower and thought my fire alarm was going off 😀

    44. LordBrixton on

      Not sure why we need live updates. This is something that anyone who had been paying attention to the news knew about ages ago, and it only sounded for about 5 seconds or so.

    45. just_jason89 on

      I knew it was happening, still made me to “WTF is that!?”

    46. InformationNew66 on

      The chances of a turned off emergency alert actually mattering in real life are practically zero.

    47. PuzzledFishOfTheSea on

      I’m disappointed. I never got my alarm. I got the text, but no alarm. Disappointed.
