Did you receive the Emergency Alert? I’m curious as to what the actual numbers are who did, and who didn’t.
I received it on my iPhone.
I have a ca. 1998 flip phone. Thankfully, it receives NOTHING. :lol:
I have a c. 2013 flip phone and the test went through just fine.
What I don’t get is the part about giving the guy in Nigeria my bank account number so they can hide some funds from a terrorist coup?
:jester:
Apparently my efforts to remain a Gray Man have succeeded and I remain hidden, even from POTUS.
Negative on alert Stick.

I don’t work in the cell industry but believe it was done at the cell tower level. Basically anything attached to that tower it would push down the message.
Not like they pulled up a list of everyone’s cell number and sent it.
Seems like I’m this could be done at a regional level, so regardless of where your cell number is from, if you are connected to the tower that get the message it would push to your phone.
If anyone knows more or different, I’m interested to hear.

Yes. Received on my Samsung GS8.
Everyone at work received it all at once. Various phones Android and iOS, Samsung, Motorola, new iPhones and old

That goes to your email. Has nothing to do with phones

Negative - I have my amber alerts turned off but I thought this alert wasn’t affected by that setting.

Yep, I got it promptly at 1318.
I’d like to go back to that. I’m not a phone drooler like so many… but I upgraded do to everyone sending me stuff that couldn’t be read on a non-smart phone.
Alerted me in Northern Nevada at 1138 or so

U.S. ‘presidential test alert’ sets American phones to buzzing
“Federal officials said Trump was not personally involved in sending the alert, which would be sent in the event of a pending missile attack or other national emergency. U.S. cellphone users are not able opt out of presidential alerts.”
I got it on my iPhone, but it disappered before I could read the entire message.
I got it, at first thought when all I read was “Presidential Alert”, I thought he got assassinated.
They guy next to me goes “Oh no, Our space force is under attack”, standing in a hospital cafe I heard at least 50 go off all at once.

Received the alert on a Pixel2 and wife received on a Iphone Xs
Got it. Wonder what led to this.
Ha!
If we are launched upon we are done. There is zero Civil Defense and Executive Orders against “hoarding” so I wonder how this “feature” will be misused in the future.
Until the laws are changed and money and other resources diverted to protect the people who purportedly own the land color me “not impressed.”

Didn’t receive it here in SE Idaho nor has anyone mentioned it. Maybe we are irrelevant after all. Fine with me if it means that the crazy folk who are trying to ruin my country stay away!

Yes. Two other phones in the class I was teaching went off.
