Potentially outside a 4G/5G coverage area? If (as an example) you are on Wi-Fi and your phone happily connected to 2/3G then I suspect it wouldn't get the message.
There's no technical reason why older 2G and 3G handsets wouldn't get the message as cell broadcast technology is long established. So my assumption is that the Government are choosing not to broadcast it from 2G or 3G towers.
Slightly odd as you'd imagine it'd be most useful in rural areas for extreme weather/flooding type events that may not have 4G.
Edit: it's being reported that the Three network (and MVNOs that rely upon it) may not have broadcasted it.
