UPDATE: almost half an hour later and STILL nothing. Maybe the government has granted my long-term wish TO SIMPLY BE LEFT ALONE!!

You have to opt in to receive the test EAS alerts. It’s separate from the normal way you would receive EAS. Kind of like how you need to opt in to beta tests to test something. So most people did not get the alert.

Checked my settings and amber, government, and emergency alerts are all on. Weird.
Tried that number and it said, alerts disabled. Don’t know how to turn them on, on my iphone.
