That's interesting Quadrivium, as CoramDeo DID get an alert from AT&T.

My phone got its alert, but the really strange part was how weird it was acting earlier this morning. It shut itself down and rebooted several times for no reason that I could figure out.

None of my Android (X3) or iOS tablets (X4), all Wifi w/o LTE connection, recived a notification, as expected.
So it appears that you don't need to have a SIM in your phone to get the alert, which goes back to apoint I made earlier in this thread, that you phone is still reaching out to cell towers even when there is no SIM. As long as the radios are on, you can be tracked, the SIM is just the tie in to the carrier that opens the door for sending and recieving information that you choose to send.

It tickles me that we are such a bunch of shady characters that we all have burner phones
I got mine in case my primary dies or gets broken.
I just looked up Psalm [Q] 23 in the gematrix link you provided and its value is 201. This was quite the coincidence.

Mine is a Galaxy J3 (Samsung) was on WiFi when it received the alert. If that helps the research.
