Looks like 2D is not the network to be on to receive an emergency alert. 

 

Received it on my work phone ( Spark) and my wife's phone (One), but nothing on my 2 Degrees phone.

+1, also didn't receive the alert at all in our household, all phones on 2D.

All phones (4) here (North Waikato) received the alert on 2degrees. The other three in the house (on prepay) received it twice. I'm on post pay with an eSIM, and received it once, and that's despite also having a Skinny prepay SIM in the phone.

My Android phone made an audio alert, but both mine and my partners iPhone 15 did not - both were on silent but I thought the emergency alerts was supposed to override that.

Never had the alert override an iPhone on silent in our household. You'd think it would, but no.

We didn't receive them either on 3 x 2Degrees mobiles in Upper Riccarton. Christchurch.

 

Feedback given. Surprised feedback page does not ask for Mobile Provider! (I put it in the final comment)

@larknz 2 x 2degrees handsets got it here both Samsung S21+ and S23+

 

What is the make & model of the handset that did not get it? If handsets are connected to Wi-Fi calling and zero mobile coverage they will not get the alert

My Vodafone mobile didn't get it, partner's Vodafone mobile did, as did my own 2degrees (as well as one of my boys's) mobiles. Very odd.
