We are in England and heared this test alert today. Husbands device with e/OS did not receive it either.That’s fine, it’s a nasty sound. Some are switching it of in ‘notification’.

In sfos there is no sound at all in cell broadcast alerts, even if they work like in Germany
Cell broadcast has never worked for me on different devices and different german providers…but i don’t care.
Excellent, good to hear!

None of my SFOS devices (on Theee, EE and o2) received anything.
The single Android device i have vibrated (with no annoying sound), showing the following message:

We had a test today in Slovenia, and my Xperia 10 III running SailfishOS 5.0.0.68 also didn’t show anything.

Maybe can you fetch oFono logs?
`journalctl -u ofono` just gives me logs for the last 10 minutes or so. Are there any other logs available?
I was travelling France last week, there was a weather alert, my backup Android phone rang, not my SFOS 10iii. So up to now:
UK (@msknight)
Slovenia (@ender)
Spain (@EDz)
France (@moripeluka)
My C2in Slovenia with 5.0.9.70 was also quiet today.

Unfortunately that only seems to be useful for live event capture, not for a test that happened once at a specific time.
I didn’t receive the Wildfire emergency alert just now
Me neither. Even though it says it’s subscribed to alerts in the settings.
Oh I didn’t know there was an option for that! That’s new to the (edit C2) JP2601.
Not receiving unsolicited messages from HMG may be one of the best features of SFOS imho. 
Long may it continue.

Todays message basically said 'don’t do anything that might start a fire’. I don’t dismiss the risk, but the message is banal, undirected, and without wanting to get politcal, more about being able to look like something is being done.
I don’t dismiss the seriousness of the message - there’s a large wildfire burning 5 miles from my house right now, and it’s been burning all week. But I don’t wish to be disturbed by an ‘urgent’ message saying “Don’t run with scissors” either, especially if I’m trying to sleep after a nights work.
A reliable, easy to find opt-out in the settings would seem the minimum acceptable.
No personal experience but I’m given to understand these messages ignore silent settings too. For me that’s only acceptable if the gov’t buys the device and pays the line rental.

Apparently, looking in the settings of my work Google phone, there are different levels of messages which can be blocked, or not… rather than one setting for all alerts. So it seems like things have changed over the years.
