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.

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

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

My goodness ! That was loud !

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

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

Well that was a damp squib!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Ours came 2 minutes early. A lot quieter than I expected. I'm tempted to say 'was that it?' !
