Since some did not get any alerts, an investigation was launched into national emergency alert failings

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 24, 2023
During a national test on Sunday afternoon, the government will look at why many people did not get its emergency alert during a national test. Many people on the Three cell network said that their cell phones did not get the warning as the government had promised at 3 p.m. yesterday. Despite blasteding them off to silence it in the first place, several people complained after turning their phones back on. Millions of people around the country got the alert, which was sent by the government to warn the public of life-threatening emergencies nearby, such as extreme weather. The government has confirmed that it will investigate the results of the experiment, which is the first of its kind at a national level, as well as data from Three and other cell network providers.

In an emergency alert survey, tens of millions of phones around the United Kingdom have been sent a raucous ten-second warning

The alarm, which sounded at 3 p.m., was accompanied by a text that appeared on mobile phones alerting that the siren was a simulation and that no one was required to take any action. People who do not want to receive the notifications can opt out in their device settings, but officials hope that the life-saving benefits of the notifications will continue to be enjoyed by users. The siren-like sound, which the Cabinet Office promised would be no more prominent than a smartphone's loudest ringtone setting, was present on all 4G and 5G devices unless they had been turned off or in airplane mode. When the alarm goes off, the new Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden advised the public that they should'keep calm and carry on' and that if the alarm does not go away, they should simply'swipe away' the alert as it was sent on their phone. Once established, the system is supposed to be used in life-threatening situations, such as flood and wildfires.
