I guess it's just an advertisement for graphene to turn these off too... It's worked on amber alerts for me in the past

I'm sure it's something dumb like this wasn't a real alert, it was a test, and you can't opt out of tests 😂

Don’t you need to have a plan with a wireless carrier to get the alerts? So even if you didn’t have your phone on airplane mode you most likely would have not received the alert if you use your phone without a sim card.

So many new 'tests' of emergency alert systems recently in many nations. The psychological reaction to a scheduled false alert is just the same as to an unscheduled, real alert. Like 'trigger warnings' are just as triggering as the trigger. The governments keep us afraid, fearful and thinking only them can rescue us - from the problems they have created.
