    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.

    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

    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?

    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.

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

    Negative - I have my amber alerts turned off but I thought this alert wasn’t affected by that setting.
