This is a surprise exactly how?

I have T-Mobile, so do a lot of my friends and none of us got the alert. I have a T-Mobile myTouch 4g, made by HTC so I'd assume my phone would be high-tech enough to receive the alert. Good thing I didn't though, probably woulda scared me.

What happens when you live your life without a phone and are nowhere near any electrical/digital tech during most days because of work commitments (such as myself)....GUESS WHAT....life goes on!

Bizarre isnt it!b

Not always my friend lost his phone and got in a real state. He was upset. Anyway he died that night and the cause of death still remains a mystery. Some people think he died because he lost his phone..

I also have T-Mobile & didn't receive the alert but they manage to send mundane texts about everything else concerning their craptastic service.
