The federal government will test a new national warning system on Monday, July 27. You won’t be able to opt out.

    Your phone still has to be able to connect to a tower (of any provider), no?

      Yes. But if it doesn’t, it’s also highly unlikely that one of these emergency warnings would apply to you anyway. Not many cyclones hitting the deep outback.

          Might not be a problem either since there’s no bush in the Outback (correct me if I’m wrong)
