Are you on the 3 network?

Seems that alerts didn't make phones on that platform.

I left my phone on so I would know what it was like. It was a bit louder that I thought it would be (based on previous advertising of it).

Vodaphone.

I was on the effing Gabalfa Interchange at the time. Wasn't funny. I was like Jesus Christ what the hell is that, before pulling off into the elative safety of Mynachdy

Perhaps they should’ve sent an alert 5 minutes before hand warning everyone there was an alert on its way.

I didn't get it either.

I didn't get it either, nor did my daughter's intended.

Just aswell it was a test and not the real thing.

my mrs and daughter were in Tesco's at the time, I said " imagine the carnage that place would be if the warning said, you have 20 mins to get inside we have tracked missiles coming from Russia " it would have been a free for all

It's incase the Ruskies nuke us, it will be too late by the time it goes off anyway.

I hadn't read that, that's what it's really for, waste of time, but handy for when the taff floods Ponty next I suppose.

:yikes:

The newspapers were all slagging it off caying "Chaos" and the like because x many people didn't get it.

but shirley, that was the whole point. It was a 'test'. the clue is in the sentence. They were seeing how well it worked so they can now refine it and make sure it works better next time? :shrug:

I experienced it in Canada in March and it was a right fecking nuisance. Fortunately you can deactivate on my iphone in the bottom entry under notifications. Another b100dy intrusion from this nanny state. Foxtrot oscar!

You often get them in the US ( localised warnings / messages pinging through )
