One wrote: "My phone didn't receive the emergency siren. Neither did my partners. So we'd be screwed in an emergency then." But if devices are on airplane mode or connected to either a 2G or 3G network will not sound as well as phones only connected to WiFi.The provider has since announced that it is working alongside the Government to figure out what exactly went wrong.
