Alert Ready Test on November 25, 2020

Hi Vivian,

Thank you for keeping us informed. I was good not to be caught off guard.

@Korth you have me curious, what have you modded ? 🤔 I'm still wondering if there's a way to get it to not over ride  do not disturb mode... Even with no sounds except repeat callers it comes through. Best I've found is a setting to not over ride silent mode, it just shows visual display which I'm cool with... I want the same with DND mode !

A modded version of Signal SMS. It was a project which took a few hours (almost all of the work already done by devs, I just changed and customized things I didn't like). Now I put an hour or so into it a couple times a year (because Signal updates encryption/etc, because I can't replicate things like SMS-CB transmissions on demand).

If you can code and compile then you can change any aspect of the app's behaviour you can think of, within device hardware limits. The focus of my modding was to not be confined by the various inconvenient/undesirable privacy limitations (invasions!) the consumer version of the app is legally required to implement. Plus I wanted access to iMessage emoji libraries because I interact with some iPhoners.

@NoseyNick 

So you think we think Public Mobile thinks we think this alert about an alert shouldn't be unnecessary?

Thanks for the head up.

It's good that it is only  a test.  Never want to have a real thing 🙂

Thank for the notice.

Public Mobile is everything my previous provider wasn't. 

Beenbable to show some friends what a great deal they can get by switching .

Keep it simple Public Mobile.
