People connected to Manx mobile networks will not receive a UK-wide emergency alert system test.
Isle of Man phone networks will not be included in a test of the UK government's emergency alert system on Sunday.
A Manx government spokesman said the test may see some island residents receive a test message on their phones.He said, while the island has not been included in the roll out, in some cases "where a resident's phone is connected to a UK network signal because of their location on island, they may receive one of these messages".
"Please be aware that even if your mobile phone is on silent, these emergency alerts will produce sound and vibration for around 10 seconds."The system is set to be used in future by the UK government or emergency services on rare occasions where there was a threat to life.
