All cell phones in America tomorrow will receive the first message from the Presidential Alert system.
Over 200 million phones will ring with a loud tone and special buzz on Wednesday, Oct. 3rd at 2:18 pm EST. The test was previously scheduled for September but was pushed back.
The message you receive should read: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”
You can not opt out of this test. This is a test of a system that can be used to warn people in the event of a National Emergency.
