Just got a tornado warning on my Telus phone but not Public Mobile phone

Apparently, Environment Canada thinks there's going to be a tornado in Winnipeg. LMAO. 

The funny part is I just talked to a friend and she said people's phones went off 30-45 minutes ago while she was at the store yet mine just went off a minute ago. The other funny part is I didn't get anything from Public Mobile.

Guess PM doesn't care about me that much. 😞

I'm bringing up this topic again, because the same thing happened in the GTA yesterday. All my friends who were with Rogers and Telus received a tornado warning, while I did not (as I am with Public Mobile). So far, I can tell that we received Amber Alerts fine, but not weather alerts from Environmental Canada. Does this service not fall under "provision of emergency services on a mandatory basis"?

No, I'm in bed. However, I had tacos for lunch and it smells like a bomb went off under the covers. 😞

Me, too.  I have Fido and PM, both alert at the same time.

@Chalupa_Batman  I noticed this happened to me during the NS wildfires my Telus line got the emergency warnings  while PM line did not . I switched it to LTE and rebooted the phone and the alerts started going off immediately

I also have a Rogers phone for work, and I always get Amber Alerts on my PM phone at the exact same time as my Rogers phone.

I'm convinced PM notices of such are delayed.

I carry both a personal (PM) and work (Bell) phone.   The Bell phone ALWAYS issues such notices/warnings well before the PM device receives it.

weird, wifi shouldn't matter...

[Chalupa_Batman]

It's on LTE BUT it was on WiFi... not sure if that would matter?

[Chalupa_Batman]

Nice. Mine said tornado though. Fingers crossed!!  

But have to wonder why only my Telus phone and not PM?

[softech]

@Chalupa_Batman was it those alert thing? Do you have LTE enabled? Those alert only works LTE or 5G, not 3G

Environment Canada says to be warned as T-storms and high winds expected in and around the 'peg.
