Just got a text asking me to respond with a 'y' if I got it.

 

What is this? No, google doesn't know, either!

Awanuiarangi is a Wananga based in Whakatane - https://www.wananga.ac.nz/

 

Perhaps they are testing their emergency comms, and someone has entered their (your) mobile number in error.

Thanks for enlightenment.

 

Good advice I intend to follow, given I live in Porirua!!

I would not reply you might subscribe to a $100 premium SMS service

 

Emergency comms should not go out via SMS

 

You could also complain to the DIA about SMS SPAM you did not subscribe to
