If you have an LTE phone you'll get one or more strange-sounding calls next week.

Canada’s wireless providers to test emergency public alerting system on May 7, 9

 

[Wardo]

I’ll have to remember to turn my phone off on those days.

The national public alert test failed in Quebec.

It also failed in Ontario for me... I should have received an alert at 13:55 today, but nothing. Did anyone get it?

I did not get the alert.

 

[LexxM3]

I got it.

 

[davetcan]

I also received it. Just another reason to dump my cell phone.

I'm still old school land line.
I guess I'm f*cked if something goes down?

If you do finally hear about something going down, could you please call me on my land line. Thanks in advance.

 

[sambonee]

Got it. Now only
If I could figure out a D6.

Mine kicked up about an Emergancy Alert this afternoon. Kinda reminded me of that church shortly after the DVP going west on the Gardner: sign said The End is Coming Call Jim. There was a phone number and I always meant to call him but it’s hard to get the number when your flying by at 120 mph on a Saturday at 3 a.m. Then one day the sign was gone; maybe Jim cashed in his chips.

Nope. Nuthin'.

If anything does go down big time it’s probably best to hide under your desk like they told us in grade school... lol

We'll be trampling you into the ground as we race for the doors.

Actually I didn't get the alert either, you can use me as a shield.

The TV in my house picked up the alert.

My cell phone is LTE-compatible, but my service contract only gives me 500MB of data per month. To avoid overage fees, I turn off cellular data unless I absolutely need to use it. I thought I did not get the alert on my cell phone because of that. Didn't know about the failure until this morning.

This national alert thing is not run by the same people from the Phoenix pay system, is it? LOL

 

[Sneaky]

Thanks for the alert! My flip phone failed to notify me,

Will do. Do you need your ducts cleaned by any chance?

 

[High/Deaf]

Sounds like a really good time to abduct someone. I mean, if you were planning on doing that anyways.

No, nothing here.

Now I feel terrible! Had I known that it was a GC forum member that had called me 12,000 times, I would have invited you over. DAMN!

 

[Mooh]

Got nothing the first time. Does that mean I'll get it the second time? Not sure I care.
The things that have almost killed me came without warning, a cyclone, tornado, appendix, cancer, lightning bolt, oncoming transport truck in my lane in a whiteout...

I woke up on this side of the sod this morning. I'm not sure whether to laugh in the face of death or weep with joy.

I got my pocket knife.
