Based on over 100 comments here and over at CTH, if your phone is off but not shielded, somehow it receives and stores messages (or at least alerts). I tried to say that clearly; my bagged and turned-off phone, when powered back up, got no alert, whereas many folks' UNbagged and turned-off phones DID screech the alert when powered back up.

My faraday'd + microwaved phone experience as well. No alert, nor on old galaxy which cannot make/receive calls . I had fridged that one, unbagged. So the scoffers may scoff, but we may be said to have performed an experiment on the effective reach of gov.

Your last sentence: Exactly the point! We appear to have learned some of the limits of 5G devices as they stand today. This was akin to a day at the range, trying out different ammo in one known handgun.

Had I not needed to use my phone, I would have put it in the faraday bag as well. I never get calls, nor missed calls, texts or messages, when I put it in there. It really does block everything completely. I permanently keep my emergency radio in there as well as my emergency solar phone charger/flashlight. I don’t put the phone in as often as I would like to bc I have kids and grandkids that may need me in an emergency.

I opted out of all govt messages and turned it off. When I turned it back on - no screeching or message at all.

I opted out on settings, placed my phone in an f bag and used the opportunity as a test of their system. When I took it out, the alert message was there. So, it overrode my ph settings and popped up on the screen after. I did not delete, just took a screenshot & went to the icons screen to do my stuff. It did not appear again that day, but did appear & disappear twice more.

I don’t think it’s part of a nefarious plan, although it could certainly be. Pointless to speculate, imo. But it’s good to learn a little about how my phone disobeyed my direct orders(!) and how the alert seems to have had inconsistent behavior, as we compare notes here.

Heavily pro-Trump but also 100% supportive of Constitutional restoration, and the end of the deep state.

Thanks ~ I am only slightly familiar with them, and they didn't occur to me. My guessing's usually pretty good, but this morning my only immediate thought was, "Cull the Herd? No, impossible in this context. Just ask!" lol

My mind goes on tangents these days too. Funny, but not.
