It could be your carrier doesn’t participate, but most major carriers do. If you just have a flip phone, you may not have gotten it.

Wife’s smart phone got it. My flip phone didn’t, even thought I get and send texts on it.

I’m a Monthly, so I’m all in. Just got my alert. It was completely painless.

I am in Southern Oregon and I didn’t get it. My friend nearby with the same phone did get it.

In the event of a national emergency, a Presidential WEA alert would be issued at the direction of the President and/or his/her designee, and activated by FEMA.

I was hoping for a nice MAGA graphic of Trump giving a thumbs up...

Thanks, maybe that explains it. But I get text messages from my carrier telling that my bill's been paid, so I assumed I'd get the alert, too. Guess not.

See my post #87.

It’s via FEMA, but at the direction of POTUS.

Thank God this system wasn’t fully up and running under Obama. Can you imagine?

“This is President Obama. Eat your peas”
“This is President Obama. Open enrollment under the Affordable Care Act starts today”
“This is President Obama. The Cambridge police acted stupidly”

etc. etc. ETC. ETC. ETC. ETC....

In the message on radio and TV, it did mention the phone alert test. Part of the message read/said “Many phones will get it. Others will not”. I guess yours was one of those.

We’re currently driving on I-10 in CA, about 25 miles west of Blytheville .... we got the test loud and clear on both cell phones.

I’ve got a Tracphone and it went off. I recently switched to a much better android phone where the carrier is Verizon so I expected to get an alert and I did. :-) I found out that it works well for local tornado alerts too when we had an outbreak here back in Sept. as remnants of Florence were going through the area.
