National alert
Well that was a bit of a let down, considering all the hype about the phone's emitting a screaming siren, more like a squawk

I have a dumb phone. So I am not going to find out that the end of the world is nigh until it is too late.

Re: National alert
Mine went off at 14:59.
So I had a minute head start

Come the revolution, I won't be able to afford the petrol to get there.

Re: National alert
Mine never made a sound, apparently, IDMobile is one of those networks that it doesn't work on. Can't say I'm complaining, nice to have it peaceful.

Re: National alert
Mine went off, my wife's didn't. same network both iphones. ??
I told her I was the preferred survivor and that she was obviously expendable. Woke up in hospital this morning, no idea why.
Seriously though is there anything in this country the current government can't XXXX up?

Re: National alert
I suppose that is what a test is for, to find any problems.
My mobile also squawked around a minute early

Re: National alert
Had an experience fairly similar to Vera's. My alarm went off at 2.59 and my wife's, sat in the same room and on the same netork, went off at 3.20.
Given the varied experiences, across the country, it doesn't look like sufficient testing took place prior to this national test/drill. It' s not been a great marketing exercise for the 3 Network!
