The UK Government tested its emergency alert system on Sunday afternoon at 3pm, but there were some hiccups in the system. Not only was there an error in the Welsh language version - many people didn't get the alert at all.
For most people, 3pm saw their phones emit a loud beeping noise and display a message saying: "This is a test of Emergency Alerts, a new UK government service that will warn you if there's a life-threatening emergency nearby."
Some mobile phone operators have acknowledged problems with the alerts being sent out on their networks, including for many Three mobile users. Some people also reported receiving the alert multiple times, some a significant time after the first alert at 3pm.
