Myth busting #emergencyalerts
1. They are a broadcast so one-way, you cannot reply to a message.
2. They’re broadcast for a defined period e.g 1 minute, up to, but not exceeding 24 hours. They’re not a one-shot like SMS. Image 3. They're not subject to network congestion. Millions of handsets can receive the message within 8-10 seconds of sending the alert.
4. It won’t disable your phone or lock you out. You will have to click OK or ‘x’ to dismiss the message. There's no way to track this interaction. Image
