I am too but I got it. Seems mixed whether people do get it or not, despite their setup. I didn't on the ones before I think and I was running regular Android those times
Yeah, I'm trying to work out who I should be reporting it to. I'll try Vodafone first, with any luck it'll be something they can sort out on their end.
I was at the pub when it happened. With so many phones going off at once it didn't really sound like the noise was coming from a phone at all, more like a fire alarm. Took lots of people quite a long time to realise what was going on
It has been used to evacuate Plymouth for disposal of a WW2 bomb and for storm warnings with imminent threat to life in Wales, the SW, NI and Scotland.

Looked at the clock at 2:55 and thought "ah that thing will go off shortly"
Still made me jump

I didn't get it! Wonder if it's because I'm running GrapheneOS on my Pixel. I do have emergency alerts enabled, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Cheers. I've got it set up as an autocorrect when I type shrugguy, doesn't account for markdown eccentricities though.

Might want to report that to somebody. Emergency alerts are an important function

Other people with GrapheneOS got the alert, it seems.

Mine actually worked this time, I never got the first test.

Oh, lol I turned them off. We aren't exactly in a country at risk of any emergency

I'm firmly out of the "nothing ever happens" crowd by this point, so I'll keep em on

Then why turn it off if you'll never really get them? I know emergencies rarely happen, but wouldn't you want it enabled if they do?
They have been used 5 times already, and all were for very good reason
