Had an email from our mairie yesterday warning us.
Thinks our mobiles are seldom on.

Test effected - completely forgot and wondered what the strange noise was emanating from our 'phones!

No strange noise here just the normal bing of a message coming in.

I think the strange noise came from our son's 'phone, which is newer than our's. Despite his being set to silent, it over-rode that. Sounded like a strange buzzing - I guess it has to be different from any possible setting. We just received the SMS notification. He received the flashing red warning with all the details, and had to acknowledge it to remove it. Just getting an SMS wouldn't alert us to much, probably wouldn't even see it until too late if there was a massive threat of eradication!

Yes, I happened to be walking from the parking lot into Lidl when everyone's phone started with the message (including mine). We all acknowledged ... Oh yes, it's Tuesday the 9th, time for the alert.
