A smaller portion of users on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> also had problems.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Firstly, it&#8217;s important to note that the <strong>Emergency Alerts<\/strong> service is not actually able to work for everybody. The system aims to reach nearly 90% of mobile phones in a defined area and, on top of that, you&#8217;d need a modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> Smartphone in order to receive it (older 2G and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/3g\">3G<\/a> kit are out). Likewise, if you&#8217;re on an iPhone or Android device then you&#8217;d need to be running at least iOS 14.5 or Android 11, respectively (some older versions may also work, they&#8217;re just not officially supported).<\/p>\n<div class=\"responsive-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UK Emergency Alerts\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9yLd2AjGzYI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>However, the 3pm test on Sunday (23rd April 2023) didn&#8217;t go quite according to plan, even for those with supported devices and alerts enabled (including the whole of my household). Many people reported that the alerts arrived several minutes late (a few said it arrived slightly early) and many more didn&#8217;t receive it at all, particularly customers on mobile operator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a> that appeared to be the worst hit.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a> acknowledged the issue: &#8220;<em>We&#8217;re aware that a number of customers have not received the test alert. We&#8217;re working closely with the government to understand why and ensure it doesn&#8217;t happen when the system is in use<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From the looks of it, operators that successfully performed the trial were able to rebroadcast the signalling continuously for a duration of around 20 minutes (this is the expected behaviour). But for some reason, Three UK didn&#8217;t appear to propagate the test message correctly through its core. Interestingly, mobile guru <strong>David Wheatley<\/strong> noted on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/davwheat_\/status\/1650149573313085441\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> that Three UK had similar issues with the repetition period and number of broadcasts in their signalling during earlier trials.<\/p>\n<p>The government&#8217;s <strong>Cabinet Office<\/strong> is known to be investigating the reported issues as part of their post-test review process. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-65367282\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC<\/a>, the same department also said engineers had spotted a trend of phone functions failing to work afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Just to point out. The Emergency Alerts system doesn&#8217;t work like normal SMS messages. Instead, it uses a one-way cell broadcast system that comes directly from the mast you&#8217;re connected to, which avoids some of the bottlenecks of traditional text messaging. The system does not access or collect personal data, as that is NOT technically possible via this method (it&#8217;s merely based on the physical fact of a mobile device being within range of the signal &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t even need to use or know your number).<\/p>\n<p>[poll id=&#8221;37&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 25th April 2023 @ 7:15am<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mobile operator Three UK has issued another statement to announce that it has fixed the issue that prevented alerts from reaching many end-users on Sunday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>A Three UK Spokesperson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Following the emergency alerts test yesterday, we\u2019ve been working with the government and have identified a technical issue that meant some of our customers didn\u2019t receive the alert.
