Let the chaos begin, there are going to be lots of people not aware of these tests, and people with health and age issues that will not understand it and panic, but it has to be done.
Christ! I hope our two phones, four tablets and my Apple Watch don’t all go off at the same time - it’ll scare all the cats in the neighbourhood!

Re: UK Emergency Alert Mobile Phone Test - 3pm 23/04

I have just visited my local FB account and just had to show you all a great post. Scary knowing that this person lives in my vacinity.
Quote:
Well:-
There are 97.23 million mobile connections in the UK,
85.01m active mobile devices and 12.22m connected things.
98% of the adult population have a mobile phone, making 1.37 active connections per head of population.
Now imagine all them going off at once all at the sane time and you have an ideal opportunity to harm a lot of people without it being obvious by swithing up the 5g frequency.
Now they will have to send a massive boosted frequency and 5g wave across the Uk at the exact same time to reach every phone.
Now trust me now when I say turn them off before 3pm on that day .
That frequency or wave will be extremely high for it to happen at the exact same time and extremely damaging to your brain.
They are not testing the alarm they are testing the magnitude of the frequency and the impact of the wave on us. We are all guinea pigs
It goes without saying that you need to disable your phone from even receiving this signal.
How do you do this?
On most smart phones
Go to settings - notifications - advanced settings- wireless emergency alerts - switch off alerts.
Switch off All phones
Switch off and unplug wireless networks. Ie broadband
Switch off anything that can receive a wireless signal in your home and unplug it. All unnecessary electrical equipment must be switched off.
Get out of the house but trust me stay away from large crowds like pubs, cinemas, restaurants shops.
What you will witness will not be a natural occurrence . It will be man made.
I have it on very sound advice that we must stay away as far away from other people with devices as much as possible. Go to moors, woodland etc woodland is good as the trees will protect you from the wave.
Natural-not good, ,,,,JUST IN CASE....

Wasn't as loud as I was expecting it to be. Just a louder buzz, rather than a piercing screaming noise.

Well that was quite painless. I didn't detect any adverse effects at all.

Not too loud but it would certainly attract my attention.
