Not sure if this 0444 444 444 is a legitimate emergency, government services (fire, health, etc) number.

That message did not come from Emergency Alert and is not used to contact individuals

I received an SMS from this number this evening. I have not seen the number before, had no idea who it was and bearing in mind there are so many nasty individuals out there sending emails and messages wanting to SCAM the unwary and vulnerable members of our society, you will understand why I deleted it just in case I ended up with a $1000 phone bill.

I received a message from this number of a miising car and a child is it genuine

Good luck in the next bushfire, flood, famine or plague, you moron.

lol, the midwit thinks he has a high IQ by acquiescing to authority and allowing the government unlimited access to private details. Only a midwit wouldn't understand how this could be misused.

Caller: No one I deal with

Sending unwanted bullsh*t without a way to opt out

Yes again..................................... Government sending s##t out to people and not knowing what they are talking about / where is the conversion from idiot government to normal human beings who are australian and not suck up gold spoon fed imbeciles who don't realize not to send messages to your mobile phone tower. Or use the correct terminology locals use

Any legit government usage for this number shouldnt be trivialised but apparently its one idiot in parliament who goes send that out to this general area your tower was probably on the outskirts of the area and it means f all to you at all because the message / call shouldnt have been made through that tower government stupidity at its best

Seeek high ground to look for the idiot who sent the sms message spot the mobile tower and shoot it down

So great when the emergency phone crap gets used for nothing and no one sent the message or why would it be sent???? Wait it was sent and nothing was wrong??? Hmmmm

WOW I really need to be told sever weather and power is out when the F###ING POWER IS OUT I CAN SEE THAT...... WE GET A POWER OUTAGE HERE 10 TIMES A YEAR.......Great people who work on power around here but they dont get called out for 30 mintues around here 5 minutes to see if a reset from base does it if not then the guys get called out but not for us we are on the end of the line people near the beginning of the line get a free repreave with a generator.....

Mini tornado hit wow hey now you could go here to hear about it and what they are going to do..... FAIR ENOUGH

Well done innate usage of something that could be used to REALLY REALLY HELP PEOPLE AKA CRAZED GUN TOTING KILLER ON RAMPAGE IN YOUR AREA .............INSTEAD HEY ITS HOT TODAY OR ITS SO WET ITS 5 CMS OF RAIN CHANCE OF FLOODING ...... NOT HEY YOUR GENERAL AREA MAYBE FLOODING FLOODING REPORTED AT X RIVER LOOK OUT OR FIRE COMING LOOK OUT .................................Government get your f###### act together and pass proper f#####g messages out and use the service as it should be
