THIS IS A TEST: Cellphones across the US to get a ‘presidential alert’

Just curious. With the presidential alert test at 11:18 Pacific, did anyone receive a text on an active InReach device?
Mine wasn't activated at the time of the test. I know it's not a cellphone, but just wondering.

Mine did not; it was sitting in my office and still on from my previous recent trip; maybe didn't have connection although the "drive-inn" signal symbol is lit. No messages in storage as I have been away from it all morning.

Got two separate spams on my cell. About 5 minutes apart.

Don't have an inReach but neither me nor my wife got a text on our cell. We both have the "emergency alerts" turned off but I heard on the news that wouldn't make a difference. And, no, I'm not upset I didn't get one
