Comment on Emergency warning text and siren to be sent to every phone in Australia [July 27 at 2pm AEST]

One thing that’s worth noting is that you don’t need to be connected to a tower to receive the alert. You could be a Vodafone customer and get the alert if there’s only Telstra service where you are.

Your phone still has to be able to connect to a tower (of any provider), no?

  Yes. But if it doesn’t, it’s also highly unlikely that one of these emergency warnings would apply to you anyway. Not many cyclones hitting the deep outback.

    Might not be a problem either since there’s no bush in the Outback (correct me if I’m wrong)
