Emergency Alert System Test
The government will be testing an alert on our phones on Sunday 7th September at 3:00pm
If you or someone you know has a concealed device due to some sort of safeguarding or domestic abuse, please consider turning off your mobile phone to eliminate any risk of the mobile being detected.
· The alert will emit a loud siren like sound even if your phone is on silent
· It will last for around 10 seconds
· The alert will also vibrate and may read out the message aloud
If you would like to opt out of receiving the alert, open your mobile calling pad and enter
*#*#2627#*#*
Alternatively, you can look in your settings for emergency alerts and turn off test alerts
