I am not saying about the alerts I'm pointing out that most of the time the people who need to know.know... I am not getting an alert, that is the menu options to turn of different types of alert on your mobile, you will note i have left crash detection on which will dial emergency services should it detect a sudden and violent stop if i have a signal. You will note i have chosen the option to not get emergency alerts. If you also look at the two pics you will see the signal bar is pretty low, that's despite me being 4 floors up with an uninterrupted view from my office windows. One of the farms i shoot on there is an EE mast, you won't get a signal with your EE phone if you are within 200m as the bandwidth will just pass over you. I live in Wales, we have lots of hills and valleys, there are still villages that don't have any mobile phone signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to acknowledge receipt before you can use the item. 7 hours ago, Penelope said: I believe that your phone will be disabled until you respond. You can turn them off in the phone settings. Just search emergency alerts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ordnance Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 I don't get what the issue is 🤔 do people think the government etc can't track their phone if they want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem260 Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 There are 97 million mobile phones in the uk. How many people does the government have to employ to keep an eye on everyone and what they are doing or saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesj Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 If the government start disappearing people using their phones to track them I don't think I am going to be very near the top of the list so i should get a bit of a heads up in time to get rid of my phone!

Nowadays, not many - stream processing and AI would process that data. about 15 years ago I done work at HMRC and part of it was to do with a system that analysed voice patterns for lying.

manthing Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 When you update the operating system on your mobile phone, your service provider sends you a text along the lines of "It looks like you've changes something, well send you new information so you can continue to access the tinterwebs and stuff". These service texts then arrive an auto open and self install. Anybody that thinks the government, if they so desired, could not send out their own self opening and self installing malware on the back of this system is kidding them selves. We are well past that. They are trailing an emergency alert system that could potentially save your life or the life of a loved one. But you go ahead and turn it off. Really, it's fine. Just don't complain when the cloud of toxic gas from that industrial estate fire settles over your area and you look out the window to see all the neighbours are already gone, houses locked up and the army in full nbc suits are sweeping the area looking for bodies... If you look long enough there's a conspiracy theory for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our government and others, are peed off with Putin, so will probably start supplying Ukraine with aircraft etc, which Putin won't like, so things may escalate into something affecting us. If you're old enough, ask your grandparents what the air-raid sirens were called before the outbreak of WW2. Of course, this is JMHO.
