Well I’m not going to be saved as my Android phone stayed silent during the alert.
How about you?

Some providers, 3, Tesco, smarty and gift gaff failed apparently, hence it was a test.

I’ m with giffgaff, my iPhone went off at 3pm exactly. I can see two of the 3 nearby phone masts from my window, if that makes a difference?

It only worked on phones with 4G and 5G, it would not have worked on old phones or Androids unless set to 'allow alerts'.

My alarm worked on my phone but as I have no idea about G or what type of phone it is that is not much help.
At least I am alarmed.

All alerts switched on, phone on 4G but still nothing here.

I have an Android A5 (2017). Nothing came through. I think my phone no longer qualifies to receive software updates beyond Android 8. I understand the software needs to be more recent to get the alerts. Seems like I need a new phone confused

My old iPhone 7 told me last night there would be software update so I left plugged in. It ‘alarmed’ me at 3. I’m with EE

I'm on the unsaved heap as well. Didn't hear my husband's smartphone go either. Well we always said we hoped to go into the sunset together so looks like we will get our wish.x

I switched my emergency alerts off but just switched them back on and it came through. DDs came through a minute before DHs and we were in a restaurant and someone else’s went off two mins after theirs.
