Will we get an alert when Bertie announces his candidacy for President?
Please, for the absolute craic, write the messages in Danny Healy Raes accent!
“Sure loird above in hivin, there’s a big shtone shpinning threw shpace (unintelligible)”
Something a modern country should have I suppose.
Though, my first thought was, copying he brits again, I wonder how much later, more expensive, and crappy it will be though.
Day 1: “There is a housing crisis”
Are the large scale emergencies expected, or just the text messaging system?
“schtand clear, luggage doors operate.”
As long as it’s not run by the divas who operate the community alert text systems. We’ll be hearing about every loud clapped out banger on every side road imaginable.
Got a text from the fella that organises it, took me a while to realise why the car sounded familiar. It was my car.
Delivery pushed back to 3023 and cost increased to Seven hundred bakazildrion.
Oh yeah, can’t wait.
‘Red Warning Yellow Warning Red Warning Yellow Warning..”
We have it in Korea. Totally overused and disabled on many phones (mine included). They’d send an alert out for a stiff breeze.
Of there’s ever a signal about upcoming war this is it!
Got one of these a few years ago in Florida on holidays. Sitting watching TV when everyone’s phone beeps, warning a hurricane is coming and to take shelter. Was quite an exciting few minutes, but we were staying in a more residential area and all the locals seemed to stay calm and carry on.
That means it’s a couple of years behind schedule.
Article 110 of the European Electronic Communication Code:
‘1. By 21 June 2022, Member States shall ensure that, when public warning systems regarding imminent or developing major emergencies and disasters are in place, public warnings are transmitted by providers of mobile number-based interpersonal communications services to the end-users concerned.’
When we run out of ice cubes in the summer and bread when it snows
Fix the f**king scam texts/calls first.
I get all my factual government information from r/Ireland thank you very much
Most people would think that they’re scam texts. They’re so prevalent rn
“You left the immersion on!”
Cue the conspitacy theorists
Would certainly be useful to at least have this ability. Could come in handy should there ever be a repeat of Covid, serious freak weather events or any other serious disaster or event.
When I lived in America this worked pretty well and would be used for localised flooding warning and missing children as well as things like storms etc
I would assume this would be using cell broadcast, which was designed specifically for this purpose. I’ve always been amazed that it’s never been in use considering it’s been around since the very beginning of cellular communication
I wonder how many weeks or months it will take before we have our own repeat of the 2018 Hawaii false missile alert.
They will claim this is to alert the public about severe weather and kidnapped children, but the real reason may have to do with events on the Continent.
There is growing concern of a sudden and massive escalation of the Ukraine war by NATO becoming directly involved. Several other European countries, including Britain, are hastily installing these same emergency text messaging systems right now. It is all about the rising risk of nuclear war. I hate to say it, but that logical conclusion is inescapable and a lot of people are quietly talking about it.
They are rolling this out in the UK later this month.
“Jaysis lads tis lashin out there sure wouldn’t you be better off staying home like.”

They should have Amber alerts by this point!
Why don’t they just make a giant WhatsApp group?
Now where’s did I leave those Iodine Tablets?
So they’ve discovered text messages then…
They will all be in Irish
