Do you actually get it every month? Just wondering why some do and some don't.
Register your number with your county.
Did you actually do that? I've never heard you have to do that before. I've seen a lot of people post today that they got the EBS test but have never gotten one before.
Yes. If you don't get a number assigned to you in the location you live because you moved and kept your originally assigned number, your county has literally no way of knowing to send you information unless you let them know.
This resulted in some humor for me a few years back when my coworker in the continental US got a "BALLISTIC MISSILE INBOUND, THIS IS NOT A DRILL" message on his phone because he used to live in Hawaii and that is where he got his cell number assigned.

Wow. Good to know. I honestly had no idea that was necessary. I suppose it makes sense, but with the sophistication of technology these days, I wouldn't have thought it necessary. Thanks for explaining and that was funny about your co-worker.
