Alert and ready, I was awaiting today's Government emergency SMS message.  My wife's phone (EE) pinged/shrieked beautifully.  Neither my mobile or tablet (both O2) stirred a muscle.  Am I an Expendable Citizen?

It was a test send by the government, and not o2, but it does seem to be an issue across all UK networks..

Already under discussion here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Welcome-News/Emergency-Alert-Test-Sunday-23rd-April-at-3pm/td-p/161483...

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
