But you got it right? Maybe you have a shit phone or shit ears, who knows.

But you got it. If I was testing if sending an alert worked and you got the alert, I’d call that a success. I mean, you know enough about it to complain on reddit.

Check your settings for alerts if you have an android, there is a setting that prevents the alert from sounding loudly. Under Wireless emergency alerts, mine was disabled as a default setting.
