Amazingly, turning a phone off in advance of the retardation avoided the retardation. Any missed messages can be blamed on the alien 5g emp. Maybe I'll remember to turn the phone back on before the end of the month. We'll see. 

 @55bca1bf my phone was off, and when i booted it after, still got alert. gay 

 @55bca1bf Mine didn't go off, might be due to being used last sunday due to a little earthquake.
