In a coffee shop and it was staggered here - some went off before others. |  |

Maybe you’re the emergency the rest of us are being warned about? |  |

Great, shell out money every few years replacing something that already works to receive messages of the highest importance. | |

Exactly, I've been saying something similar about my black and white TV for years, why should I pay for a new TV to watch in colour. The TV manufacturers should find a way to make my TV display colour! | | | |

My son's has gone off. (Virgin).
Mine, my wife's and daughter's has not made a peep (O2).

I take your point, but there is a difference between keeping a 50 year old black and white tv set, and a phone that's about 5 years old. | |

Yeah but also my daughter has a HD TV she bought 5 years ago and it won't display UHD HDR picture!
*sarcasm mode off.
Basically, technology progresses at a massively quick rate and 5 years is an age. Is not the government's fault you have equipment that is not capable. | | | |

I'm not against technology, but not everybody cares about having the latest phone features. People just want to live their life and the modern age demands that a phone is essential. Therefore the first requirement of such essential messages should be that they are backwards compatible. But no, technology companies deliberately don't do this so you spend more money. | |

Would be nice if you can customise the alert tone. Mine was some horrible single tone beep. I'd like to have the Darth Vader theme or something. |  |

Too much information about your son
Things like that should be kept private |  |

Hoppy and Keno - Very funny!
Still nothing for the other three. (All O2)
A bit crap if it all goes off. Just hope I'm with my son! | |

Our debate was a bit of a red herring. Although i'm on iOs 12, i am actually on a 4G network. | |
