Manx phones could get emergency test

The UK will be testing its emergency alert system tomorrow. 

At 3pm on Sunday an alert will be sent to phones and tablets showing a message, sounding a loud siren, and vibrating. 

The Manx government says while the Island isn’t participating in the exercise, it’s possible some phones and tablets here will still get the alarm. 

And Island residents in the UK are likely to receive it, even if they have Manx SIM cards.
