Iphone, vzw, silicon valley, rcvd. Interesting question though... I wonder if people on micro-cells and/or wifi calling don’t get the alerts. That would be extremely dumb and irresponsible of the cell phone carriers, so its likely the case :)
In rural America where cell coverage may not exist but the customer may have PTMP wireless internet and is using a microcell and/or wifi calling over the internet, if they dont get the alert, that could be catastrophic. Something along the lines of the Santa Rosa, CA fires catastrophic. I wonder if that is the case. -Mike > On Oct 3, 2018, at 12:28, Chaim Rieger <chaim.rie...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Asked co-workers that are on att and about half say they didn't get it. > >> On Wed, Oct 3, 2018 at 12:26 Milt Aitken <m...@net2atlanta.com> wrote: >> I got it on a Verizon Android. >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-boun...@nanog.org] On Behalf Of Andy Ringsmuth >> Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2018 2:53 PM >> To: nanog@nanog.org >> Subject: Oct. 3, 2018 EAS Presidential Alert test >> >> Did anyone on AT&T or an iPhone receive the test today?
