I hope you all know that you can opt out of hearing this on your mobile phones.
Go to Settings then Notifications, find Emergency warning and turn it off.

Didn't get it.

Glad I'm not the only one.

A. Lot of fuss I feel.

After weeks of telling everyone about it , it finally happened, and I had forgotten it was going to😂. Not particularly loud TBH and DH's was a slightly behind mine but we are on different networks.

Didn't get it.

Why didn’t mine sound?
It was switched on and my GD and her friend’s both sounded.
It was quite a damp squib actually.

JaneJudge Sun 23-Apr-23 15:04:40

mine was really loud like a wahhh wahhhh wahhh sound
how weird it has activated some but not all phones. You need 4g but not sure about what else

It worked well and it made me jump.

Casdon Sun 23-Apr-23 15:04:16

Mine was loud, didn’t sound like my phone and made the dog bark. It didn’t go off on my iPad, which was also on.

Just had alert here in Kent.

I don't think I'm a zombie yet. Looks like all those warnings about chips in our vaccinations were fake news! Luckily!

JaneJudge Sun 23-Apr-23 15:03:40

I heard a thud upstairs as though my youngest fell out of bed confused

Callistemon21 Sun 23-Apr-23 15:03:23

I didn't hear anything 🤔

Blondiescot Sun 23-Apr-23 15:03:21

No alert here...

Smileless2012 Sun 23-Apr-23 15:03:02

On time too.

rosie1959 Sun 23-Apr-23 15:02:30

Phone buzzed twice then turned it off

Riverwalk Sun 23-Apr-23 15:02:13

Well that was a damp squib!

A medium sound - I pressed the screen and all over smile

ginny Sun 23-Apr-23 15:02:11

Yep , it’s just gone off. No fuss or bother. Hardly much different to an ordinary call sound.

aggie

My goodness ! That was loud !

Eh?
Either I'm going deaf or didn't have the volume up high?

rafichagran Sun 23-Apr-23 15:01:46

All painless.

Marydoll Sun 23-Apr-23 15:01:39

I've just pressed ok, as soon as it sounded. Took seconds!
It certainly wasn't intrusive, despite all the dire warnings. 😉

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 23-Apr-23 15:01:17

That was interesting! No mobile reception but the alert sounded loud and clear. Very impressed.

aggie Sun 23-Apr-23 15:00:46

My goodness ! That was loud !

Wisefalcon Sun 23-Apr-23 15:00:31

All pretty painless.

Spinnaker Sun 23-Apr-23 14:58:20

I've decided to leave mine on cos I want to hear what it sounds likegrin. Minutes away now...

Callistemon21 Sun 23-Apr-23 14:54:41

I left it on in case I nodded off 🙂
