You're special, OP. The president sent YOU an alert!

I got one too. I should make a thread ;)

Everyone's phone went off or vibrated at work.

We happened to be on a call with the team in MN. Theirs all went off an hour before vs east coast

i heard others go off; but mine did not. I feel good about that.
Same. I didn't get one. I have all alerts turned off. That's not supposed to affect presidential alerts, but perhaps it's a bug. Maybe some dev slipped that "bug" in cause he cares about his users :^D

Both my phones got them at the same time.

Let's hope he doesn't start using it for his twitter rants.

This is awesome... the presidential alert went off on my heart monitor phone, and I have no way of clearing it because they blocked the ability to switch applications or access the notifications screen. It kept buzzing every 5 minutes until I muted it completely... which is great for something that's supposed to notify me if I'm about to die :)

I wonder how many accidents it caused, I was on the beltway and you see folks looking at their phones.

Got one on my internet phone at home. Got home from work, go in the kitchen, and hear the alert tone. Think WTF?! for a second, then Oh...

Well, I am able to not be bothered by tornados and hurricanes, mass floods and nuclear war. I can ignore amber alerts, too. But the bumbling idiot in the oral office I am not allowed to ignore.

My response wasn't a political one. My response was how I can ignore everything on my phone except that guy. Truth hurts, and annoys.

Because then you'll be the one guy in Hawaii that doesn't know that the NK nukes are on their way!
