Im no expert on these things but i imagine different companies do different things, even in this test it seems most people that didnt get an alert were on 3 or Giff gaff, so why didnt they?, thats what the review being done after is to determine. do they use less masts? are they in more areas where theres a lack of masts or signal? it all matters. as for other countries, did they get it right first time, did they have to tweak it, did they have 1 or numerous tests? before it was correct Edited April 25, 2023 by melthebell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know which network GiffGaff use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Interesting reading this bit Quote Is 3 network the same as EE? EE and Three are two major mobile networks in the UK, although they offer different experiences to customers. EE has better coverage, faster 4G and 5G services and a range of extras customers can add to their plans. On the other hand, Three is all about value and they triumph over EE on price for every type of tariff.8 Sept 2021 2 minutes ago, top4718 said: Grenfell was caused by breaches of fire safety regulations, an alert wouldn't have made a difference. if they got an alert on their phone more mightve got out sooner?

Totally different context, that's to test an already tried and trusted system to make sure all sounders and detectors are working etc. ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo! The original fire service message of "stay put" was superceded by "get out" but they couldn't get the word out to everyone in time.
