UK’s emergency alert may affect Donegal mobiles

People in Donegal and other border counties may be affected by a test of the UK’s nationwide alert system later today.

At 3 o’clock, a short alarm will sound on every 4G and 5G mobile device in Britain and Northern Ireland.

It’s in an effort to test a warning system for nearby dangers, like floods and wildfires.

Similar systems have already been rolled out in the Netherlands, US and Canada.
