I bet if you have Nextel the crisis would be over before the message came in.

I have text messaging turned off on my phone. I guess I'll have to listen for gunshots the old fashion way.

2/20/2008 1:30:03 PM

i have nextel.

^^and that is a true statement!

"Earlier today (Wednesday, Feb. 20), NC State tested the WolfAlert text message system. All NC State faculty, staff and students who signed up to participate in the text message system by 10 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 17, were included in the test. We would appreciate your help in evaluating this test. Please go to http://www.ncsu.edu/wolfalert-test/ to log in and submit a brief online survey. Everyone who completes the survey by 10 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 22, will be entered in a drawing for an iPod Touch. Text messaging is a new component of the WolfAlert emergency notification system, which also includes home page and email alerts and other notification methods. For more information on WolfAlert and emergency communications, go to the emergency information link at the bottom of the home page.

Heh.

Sprint...nothing, yet.

2/20/2008 1:37:02 PM

I guess everyone with sprint-nextel should watch out for other students glancing at their phones then running for cover.

11:13 verizon. Sorry about not mentioning the carrier there. <_<

2/20/2008 2:04:49 PM

So I got nosy, and called sprint

I explained to the lady I spoke to what I was inquiring about and why, and she actually tried to help Now, how much that help was worth...she made a JoCo HS drop-out sound city-fied

She couldn't find any sign of the text message, at all.

2/20/2008 2:21:06 PM

Sprint...nada

2/20/2008 2:22:31 PM

i'm not signed up for this, but i filled out the survey for the drawing thing

2/20/2008 2:23:40 PM

Looks like 13 minutes is about the average(excluding Sprint, of course. That's better than I expected.

2/20/2008 2:32:03 PM

I'm on US Cellular and have been signed up from the start and I didn't receive the message. I know my phone roams on Verizon's network when I'm in Wake Co. So did anybody else with USCC get the message today?

2/20/2008 2:41:34 PM

2/20/2008 3:32:28 PM

at an engineering school i'm disappointed that most of you dont have some type of PDA where you immediately get an email notification on your phone

2/20/2008 3:35:19 PM

11:08 verizon

2/20/2008 3:38:43 PM

Not I.

2/20/2008 3:41:07 PM

Sprint here, and I never got one either. Either the university, sprint, or both, fucked something up majorly.

Text messaging normally works fine for me, too, so it's not like texting itself is broken. But no sign of this "emergency" broadcast.

I have my phone set to check my unity email once per hour--any more than that, combined with the fact that I get push emails from my groupwise account, and I'd probably run my battery out before the end of the day.
