I had two phones go off. Definitely got my attention.
I hope there’s never any reason for the National Alert system to become fully active. It would have to be catastrophic.
AFAIK the older TV based system was never used in a emergency. It was tested regularly.
I slept through the whole thing. I guess I’m toast.
We both got it at the same time, but it was pretty soft. My lovely wife got a message with the tone; I did, too, but it vanished immediately. We have different carriers and different phone manufacturers.
I guess I just expected something louder because the last time an amber alert roused me from bed at 2am it scared the everloving shit out of me.
I know this was a test but. I have an iPhone with all the alert functions turned to off and still the alert sounded! Very loud noise and there was a written message but when I went back a few minutes later to read the message it was gone? What good is it to have an emergency message if you can’t go back and reread/verify what was sent?
What do you bet some hacker gonna glom onto this and use it for a scam? I can see people pulling out their credit cards and pay pal accounts.
But I know if they ask for gift cards to be suspect.
Dirty dirty scammers😑
It’s probably still in Notifications. Scroll up from the bottom on the lock screen.
The lamb’s head photos are priceless.
Thanks, just salad for me today.
Any of you feeling a sniffle, maybe a slightly scratchy throat, or something just not quite right since the alert?
It’s probably your vaccine nanoparticles disgorging their payload of Marburg virus, Ebola, staphylococcus, E. coli and brewer’s yeast in response to the 18 gigahertz pulses. Take heart, it’ll all be over soon and you won’t have to worry about the '24 election.
I have an iphone and I can read it now. It’s there with my other notifications like credit card charges and when my Nest doorbell sees a person
Mine made a noise, but not an extremely loud one. I opened it, saw the text message, and hit OK before I’d finished reading it: at which point the whole thing disappeared and I couldn’t find it again anywhere. (No, it’s not in Notifications; nor is it in Messages.)
If hitting OK would make all the information instantly disappear in a real alert, that strikes me as a very bad idea.
Brewers yeast is harmless. But smelly.
Mine isn’t.
Another one where the alarm came two minutes early.
Must have been loud; I didn’t have my hearing aid in and even I heard it.
Unless it’s been genetically modified to turn you into Bud Light. 
On the lock screen. Thank you yes it’s there. Never thought to look for something on the phone without unlocking it first.
Thank you, yes its there on the locked screen. Never thought to look for something on the phone without unlocking it first.
For people with older phones, they have a staff of operators who call these numbers individually. This may take some time. Your call is scheduled for November 15th at 3:15 Eastern Time.

Actually, I got the screaming alert signal about one minute after I posted that. I will clear that time on my calendar, though, in case they want to add a personal touch. LOL
Huh. My flip phone isn’t locked; there isn’t enough on it to bother. So I don’t have a lock screen, and for me it’s entirely disappeared.
Even aside from that issue, the lock screen seems an odd place to store it. It ought to stay either in Notifications or in Messages.
