       That phone alert today at 3?If your phone is turned off or in airplane mode it won’t go off at 3, but when you turn it back on, it *may* still receive the message and the alarm will sound, much like when your text messages come through when you turn it back on.(source bbc news, radio 4)

       @solderandchaos I thought it was a cell broadcast thing not a stored/queued message like a normal SMS? So seems unlikely.That said, I bet the actual message is broadcast ongoing for some time and phones ignore as not a new message but a phone that was off picks up as a new message. That would make sense.People with hidden phones need details of how to permanently turn off the alerts for when there is a real message not just a test. There are instructions out there.

       @revk I thought that too but since they just said it on the national news it was worth mentioning.

       @solderandchaos @revk Apparently being on the Three network is sufficient.
