    on 3, didn't get one, but I DID get a heads up from region HQ that I would get one...so I waited in vain for just another beep to complete my already beep-ful day...more beeps to come, courtesy of my bloody pager!

    Just got our 3 messages. More bloody beeps and pings! I think everyone at uni tomorrow is going to lynch me by midday with all the alerts I'll get about powerlines down...cos hopefully, that's all it will be...

    Mine just came through. I wondered if we were missing out because 3 sides of us are already burnt, but it must have just been late because i am with 3.

    telstra started it and I forwarded mine to a heap of people, saw you Nelle but got confused with Ange. Doh. Sorry.

    Initially sent to 2m mobiles, and latest news is that its out to 5m mobiles

    Just wait until the community warning system starts, then people will be getting personalised phone calls to their PSTN and also msgs to their mobiles

    I wonder if you can claim 'pager fatigue' to get out of it?? I think it's a great idea for non-firefighters, though

    I got mine this afternoon, happened to be on the phone to MIL in Tas and she got one about 15 minutes after mine.
