Some users have suggested wrapping their phones in tin foil — a conspiracy classic — or hiding them in microwaves or faraday cages ahead of the test.
Wait, hiding your phone in a microwave to block signals? Uh, hmm, hold on a second….(yeah, I’m bored enough to actually test that)
lol, NOPE, that doesn’t work. Put my phone in the microwave and closed the door and then called it and could hear it ringing away. I assume it wouldn’t be a good idea to turn the microwave on while you’re doing that, though.
Of course, a much simpler solution would have been to just turn your phone OFF if you didn’t wanna receive the emergency alert test.
