"Phone users will have to acknowledge the alert before they can use other features on their devices".
However, the latest, from the Beeb today says about vulnerable users;
"However domestic abuse campaigners, including the charity Refuge, have warned the test could put some vulnerable people in danger by alerting an abuser to the location of a secret phone.
The government said it had been engaging with such organisations to ensure those at risk were not adversely affected by the introduction of emergency alerts.
Officials also said it was possible to opt out of the system if people needed their phone to stay concealed, either by turning off emergency alerts in their settings or simply having the phone switched off during the test".
Nothing there about being unable to use the normal features until the nuisance is acknowledged.
So now, I am well and truly baffled, no change there then? I'm going to switch mine off as I don't trust the barstewards, then see what happens after the 'emergency' is endex!
