I was at mall this afternoon and the emergency test alert went off on my phone…scared the crap out of me!

Everyone in the mall phone also went off too.

Well you know it works. 👍 I miss them because phone is set to 3G network for best reception at home. I will be sad when it is finally closed. 😩

When mine went off I was at school. No phones allowed in class! Luckily, the rest of the class and the professor's also went off!!

We were notified a few days ago however that it would have happened.

@VEENVEE

You need to tap the OK or Dismiss at the bottom of the alert message. Or whatever the prompt is at the bottom to get it to stop.
