I didn't receive the alert on my cell phone this time. I did last time.

I got it at 12:56pm from the nunavut alert system  
 
and then twice at 1:55pm from the Manitoba alert system  
 
On Rogers

On Telus. Scared the hell out of me.

through on my phone at 1:55pm.

Of course the one time i go outside to shovel and leave my phone inside. Does look my phone got something 25 min ago.  
Wife’s phone got notta, also got something with the last test a few months ago.

Woke me up... (Night shifts) but yea freaked me the hell out. I got it at 2:00. I wonder if your able to switch from an alarm to a text.

I got it and i was on wi-fi. I also got it last Wednesday at 1:55pm as well

I am on Bell and got 3 total.  
 
12:55 i got one.  
1:55 i got one.  
2:00 i got one.  
 
Guy in the office next to me on Bell MTS didnt get a single one. But we did both get them last time they tested it a few months back.

It made me jump! Then the TV started playing the alert too. I wasn’t expecting it

Only one phone of three (1 iphone, 2 android) got the alert, the iphone with the Weather Network app, otherwise nothing. TV got the SK alert. This on on the BellMTS network.

One at 12:56 and 2 at 1:55  
I get the alarm and the texts.  
I find nothing alarming about the alarms-i just wonder why my phone is making the funny noises. Looked at it and said oh that.  
 
There was public notice yesterday that the alerts would go out today.

Didn’t get one!! With Bell/Mts

Also with bell/mts.

I was in Walmart at 1:55 when mine came through. It was funny because there were a whole bunch of us who got them at the same time, was very loud lol. Also got it again at 2:00. I’m with Rogers.

Nothing on my S9 phone. I don't particular want it unless there's an actual legit warning in Brandon and no knowing about a thunderstorm warning over 100km north east of Brandon isn't legit.

MTS and Rogers came through loud and clear here.

I was in the office with 3 other people and I was the only one who didn’t get it. All iPhones and all on MTS. Didn’t get it any other times it’s been tested either.

I didn't get a text message at all - I'm on BellMTS. Also didn't get one last time either.  
 
I did get a notice from the weather network that there was a test alert?

I have a current phone and have never received any of these emergency alerts. LTE service is hit and miss in this area though, but it is still interesting that my husband has received them on his Telus phone, but my Rogers phone has never seen one.

I never got one last time or this time. I’m with Bell MTS.

these were tests only of the emergency alert systems. I turned the one off last time for the Amber alert otherwise it would be going off every 5 minutes with some teenager out partying. Simply go to "Setting" find the "Apps & Notifications" in there should be "Advanced" then in that section should be "Emergency alerts" turn it all off or set it to "vibrate" ..I turned off amber, extreme, and the severe threats. Don't get me wrong. these are in place for a reason. But when I see everyone receiving their alerts at different times of the day and night then its not going to save your arse when it comes in to late anyways. Jus sayin

Article shows why some did not receive the alert. Not being on a LTE network is the likely cause.

Not true. Three people in our office all on wi-fi received it.

Did you read the article?

here in the back woods of southern Manitoba we got nothing , no alert. Our cell service is pathetic south of Cartwright, it's not like we are in the sub arctic or something. Roll on Bell with your excellent service and coverage to the Winnipeg area
