My issue with them is once you frantically acknowledge the alert to get the noise to stop I can't seem to find any way to go back and look at it to see what it actually said, and the online alert site never seems to be updated.

I'll try and hold out today and see if I can figure it out. Seems like it should come with a text message. Maybe it will

Same... it has been some time since the last one (or maybe I disabled them successfully). But they often seemed to strike in the middle of the night a couple years back, not a single word was read.

So it did indeed override the vibrate-only mode, but it did not affect my Apple Watch. That's odd. Maybe I have some setting turned off.
Wifey's phone is set the same way as mine. All alerts on except for test alerts. Yet I still got the alert and she did not.

Wifes phone got it and override vib/silent.
Wifes work phone got it but it didnt override silent. My phone got it after coming back on, guess will still get it up to 30min after sent if device was off. All my alerts were off. Also I got both spanish and english, which isn't supposed to happen. Buddy none of his devices got it after coming back on. One device that was on, no sim or wifi somehow got it. My wifi phone didn't get it. Sounds like a successful govt test.... I think they follow the 60% rule not 80%.

For all the conspiracy theorists out there worried about this test, it's too late! If you could put a network analyzer on your devices, you'd be utterly shocked to see just how much data is coming and going from them 24x7. Turning the device off isn't going to matter either since there are ways to wake it up remotely and you'd never even know.

This would be even funnier if it wasn’t so true these days.
