Yesterday I verified that I had everything disabled, and still got the test. — Carlos Alvarez 602-368-6403 On Oct 4, 2023 at 1:34 PM -0700, Brandon Svec via Outages <outages@outages.org>, wrote:
If not aware, it is possible to disable test alerts on iPhone like today’s specifically. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102516
I noticed mine was off the other day and turned it on in anticipation of today’s test.

I have a report from a usually reliable source that he did not receive today's IPAWS/CMAS/WEA test message, and he surmises this might be because his phone handset is forced to VoWIFI. I have a number of other reports, mostly though not all, from the broadcast engineering community; nobody reported expecting a CMAS and not getting it, so that's not data here.
Is anyone on the list involved with the FEMA/IPAWS/CMAS link, or knows someone who is, and has a channel to clear this query up through?
I could be unsurprised to find that the carrier VoWIFI proxies missed out on proxying SMS Cell Broadcast, which I gather provides the underlying PHY for CMAS.
