Does your tablet have a SIM? I got it on my phone but not the iPad (wifi only, but normally relays phone calls and SMS messages as long as its on the same wifi network as the phone)

I didn't get it (again) neither did her indoors.

Not that I was bothered at all, just wondering if you need to 'opt in' or be registered or something . . . or did I opt out years ago?

:D

Which network are you both on? Maybe you have something turned off in setting? Which phones?

I don't see the point of it unless it is refined. For example, due warning of X to be, with Y sound with a display as to what you must do.

You can turn them off in settings, so maybe you have.

I actually have two levels I can allow, Severe and Extreme.
I can also turn vibrate on/off, have it repeat, and even have it "speak" the alert.

There is also a history, which shows both tests.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 17:37.
