I never got the alert

[SHRED]

My spouse did.
We have the same carrier CREDO mobile.

[Freddie]

1. I didn't and neither did DH

We have ATT. I feel so left out!
My co-worker has ATT and she got it.

2. May depend on how old your phone is

Some older models didn't have the capability.

[SHRED]

9. Samsung S8

[BumRushDaShow]

10. My sister & BIL have S8s

Have to find out if they got it. I have an iPhone 6+ and Note 9 & got it on those - apparently twice (back to back)! I have an old S4 that got it but it didn't give an alert sound.

[CentralMass]

12. I have an S8 on Verizon and got the alert

[Different Drummer]

22. I haven't checked my phone today but I have Verizon, so I probably got it. n/t

[Flaleftist]

13. iPhone 7 with AT&T, didn't get the alert.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. I saw another post where they said AT&T had a huge outage right at that time

People had posted links to downdetector's website tracking AT&T's outages - https://downdetector.com/status/att

(you can see a huge spike right around the time the message went out that lasted a couple hours)

This is one of the reasons they do this type of test to determine the weaknesses of the infrastructure.

3. Is that how we going to get Raptured?

None on personal iPhone...but did on Android work phone..

[Renew Deal]

4. Neither did I

But people around me did

[samnsara]

5. same here.. i got it but hubby sitting next to me didnt get it..

...and AT&T PNW data knocked out!

[Glimmer of Hope]

6. It is just a bad idea. Make it stop.

[jcsg]

16. is it a scare tactic?

sounds like it

[defacto7]

7. Lucky

[ProudLib72]

8. I got yours then

Fifteen minutes after the first fucking alert, I got another. It had to have been yours. I don't want it. You can have it back!

[Raine]

11. I didn't either but I didn't have my phone on

I still thought I would've had a text message when I turned it on, I have AT&T.

[GentryDixon]

14. I didn't either.

I had my phone turned off, as did my twin. When she turned her's on she did get it. I did not, but my hubby got it & it came across the Sirius station he was listening to. I hope it doesn't come in the middle of the night. It would be just like the POS to bedevil me in the middle of the night.

[Marie Marie]

15. I got it - no biggie.

[salin]

17. I didn't get it.

I read that some folks with IPhones who have ATT as a carrier didn't get them - but did when they rebooted their phone (ya, that's effective). But I have a Galaxy and am on Sprint. So - call me glad to be under the radar.

[dixiegrrrrl]

36. "Gee, honey, there's a strange huge glow in the sky tonight"

"better re-boot your phone to see if there is anything to be alarmed about"..

static.

[demtenjeep]

19. ME either

but several of my kids did

[sheshe2]

20. ATT here.

I got two. However they disappeared 15-20 minutes after receiving. Perhaps you got them and gone before you read them.

[tarheelsunc]

21. I didn't get it either.

But that's because I turned my phone off just to avoid it

[Leith]

23. I Didn't Get It, Either

But mom-in-law did. We're on the same plan and my phone is 3 weeks old, rebooted yesterday.

[GeorgeGist]

24. I hope your affairs are in order.

[a kennedy]

25. So happy my tracfone didn't get it......

[delisen]

26. many are called but few chosen

[highplainsdem]

27. I didn't get it, either.

[rownesheck]

28. I use credo

and i didn't get it either. I'm glad though.

[klook]

29. Didn't get it. Obviously, I'm one of the expendables. (nt)

[nini]

30. I didn't either

I have notifications turned off on my phone.

[Lithos]

31. I would not worry

My wife and I both got it. But she got an Amber alert at roughly the same time period which I did not. We both have the same carrier, same account and have phone numbers one digit apart. My work phone, different carrier, also got the FEMA alert, but did not get the Amber alert.

[Delmette2.0]

32. I didn't and neither did my daughter-in-law.

But my sister and my son both got the alert. This is a weird alert system.

[meadowlark5]

33. I didn't hear or see it, even though I was texting my son at the time

But I went back into my notifications and it says there was some alert notification. And it's time stamped right while I was texting my son. So not sure. I guess if dumpy starts a fight and his lover Kim jung un and he lobs a missile over, I won't get the alert to duck and cover.

[hunter]

34. Yeah, no doubt I will be left behind.

And liking it.

[mountain grammy]

35. Spouse and I both got one..

don't need a reminder of how much I hate that mother fucker.

[montana_hazeleyes]

37. I didn't get it either.

I feel clean.
