Did you receive the Presidential/ Emergency Test alert?

Did you receive the Emergency Alert? I'm curious as to what the actual numbers are who did, and who didn't.

I received it on my iPhone.

I have a ca. 1998 flip phone. Thankfully, it receives NOTHING.

I have a c. 2013 flip phone and the test went through just fine.

What I don't get is the part about giving the guy in Nigeria my bank account number so they can hide some funds from a terrorist coup?

That goes to your email. Has nothing to do with phones

I'd like to go back to that. I'm not a phone drooler like so many... but I upgraded do to everyone sending me stuff that couldn't be read on a non-smart phone.

Once people started texting heavily, I got stuck getting a smart phone. I couldn't stand tapping buttons three times to get to the letter or numbers I needed.

Apparently my efforts to remain a Gray Man have succeeded and I remain hidden, even from POTUS.

Negative on alert Stick.

I don't work in the cell industry but believe it was done at the cell tower level. Basically anything attached to that tower it would push down the message.

Not like they pulled up a list of everyone's cell number and sent it.

Seems like I'm this could be done at a regional level, so regardless of where your cell number is from, if you are connected to the tower that get the message it would push to your phone.

If anyone knows more or different, I'm interested to hear.
