Mobile phone users were left confused on Sunday afternoon (April 23) after the emergency alert test failed to go off at the planned time of 3pm.
The Government had announced it was trailing a new emergency alert system, going out to all mobile phones across the UK. The new service, which will be used to warn people about dangerous situations, such as floods or wildfires, was tested out nationwide on all mobile phones that are compatible with 4G and 5G.
However, some took to Twitter confused that their alert went off before, or after, the planned time of 3pm. Some complained it had sounded at 2.59pm as others claimed they didn't even get the notification at all.
