Folk who do not own a mobile will not have to turn it off, and will be oblivious to the nukes or biological attack that is imminent.

Thinking about it, it would be good to have notice so I could stand outside looking east so when the nuke knocks me on my ass i will get a burial inline with my belief.

Makes sense I suppose. With the amount of time kids spend on their phones it's probably a good thing that they'll get a warning that they've been abducted... might not notice otherwise

The UK version isn't just for national emergencies, it will be used for local emergencies too.

But it's only for 'danger to life' type emergencies. There won't be missing children alerts, or any of the other stuff they do in the US.

Well I don't want to guess, and accuse you of something that's not true.

But drivers all know it's going to happen, so they shouldn't be overly distracted when it does. People with hidden phones really ought to have them switched off anyway. And anxiety sufferers can just change their phone settings so the the alarm won't sound.

I really don't see what the problem is.

No you won't. The alert goes to every phone connected to a phone mast that's broadcasting it. That will be all phones in the UK.

The most sensible precaution is to wrap your phone, yourself and your friends & family in tin foil.

The Wireless Emergency Alerts system is an essential part of America's emergency preparedness. Since its launch in 2012, the WEA system has been used more than 78,000 times to warn the public about dangerous weather, missing children, and other critical situations.

That's a lot of dangerous missing children.

I received a severe alert yesterday. The phone alerts are awesome. Because it's instant. If you out and about doing things outdoors.

I just got mine, which was bi-lingual, Welsh and English.

Brilliantly, the phone then started to read the text out loud, but since it didn't recognise the Welsh, it just spelled out all the words. It sounded like complete gibberish at the rapid speed she was talking.
