Didn't get presidential alert? Some AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile users report issues

​Today's inaugural test of the presidential alert system was apparently not without its glitches.

Some AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile users are reporting they didn't receive the message despite being on a compatible phone and near a cell phone tower. Problems with receiving the messages were reported on both iPhone and Samsung phones, according to user forums.
​
Some 225 million cell phone users around the U.S. were set to receive the message at 2:18 ET today. It was the first test of the National Wireless Emergency Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, which is designed to be used in the event of a national disaster, terrorist attack or threats to public safety.
