UK government emergency alert

[HCarterSmith]

I didn't get any alert today. I've got an S10 with OS 12 for Android. I've got the Emergency Alert Notification switched on in settings so i don't know why I and the rest of my family who also use Smarty, didn't get anything. I was disappointed I didn't recieve a message but also worried for if there is an actual Emergency, I won't know unless other people from other networks inform me.

Sorry for any confusion here @Mhisani - hadn't intended to ask anything.
Just trying to reiterate your point about this emergency alert test being a scamming opportunity. 

As you've clearly stated - don't download anything.

You can turn them off on a iPhone. Go to Settings > Notifications and scroll down to the very bottom of the list.

I guess there's always the online option for current information about flooding and high-winds. I believe the Met Office, and Environment Agency, have online alerts.

Neither myself or my husband got one and we are on smarty.

I have an iPhone 6s Plus and did not receive the alert. I was on 4g at the time. Any idea why?

Hi if u haven't got them switched on in ur settings then u wont receive any emergency service alerts that's all hope this helps

I guess the initial TEST didn't work as expected for all networks and handsets. 
Probably be another test in due course, once the relevant parties have figured out why the initial test didn't go according to plan.
