Switched all warning signals off on my smart phone but forgot my older one which has O2 pay as u go sims, heard some pips after 3pm, sound a bit more like the old time pips I think like we used to get before the news, was that it?

To anyone that "did not get it" what network are you on?
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

As I said I was in a pub restaurant today at 3pm. I have to say the siren was a bit underwhelming, the sound was quite low really and although a few phones were going off at once it hardly disrupted anything amongst the general noise in the place. It stopped as soon as I hit the okay button. Everything carried on as normal very quickly.

I was working with my phone in my car. When I opened it around 4pm I had a warning text. Don't know if I got a sound at 3pm. To be honest I forgot about it.

I'm on Vodafone.

i was discussing newcastle united scoring 5 goals in the first 21 or whatever it was minutes vs tottenham. we were all extremely excited about what we had witnessed on the tv.

all of a sudden everyones phones were going off. ohh sh*t its that alert thing.

think there was a few emergency memes made up about tottenham not being owa clever at playing foota.

seemed that everyone in the westoe pub received the signal though.

my watch went nuts.

I was on a train at the time along with several other passengers of course. I heard it probably because loads of other phones went off at the same time. If I'd been alone I felt other noise would have drowned it out. It very nearly was by an announcement on the train and by the time I had got to my phone it had stopped. I presume that after this first test there will be annual tests?

I turned it off, I think I can spot an emergency happening near me. If I don't notice it, it's clearly not an emergency for me.
