Wireless AMBER Alerts™
Sign up for Wireless AMBER Alerts ™
The first three hours after a child is abducted are the most
critical to recovery efforts1. Wireless AMBER Alerts™, an initiative
of NCMEC and the wireless industry, have the potential
to reach more than 242 million wireless subscribers with information
to help bring abducted children home quickly and safely.
Wireless subscribers capable of receiving text messages and those whose
providers participate in the initiative can sign up to receive free text
message alerts in one of three easy ways:
- Text AMBER followed by a space and five-digit ZIP code
to AMBER (26237) (available for most eligible wireless
subscribers);
- Visit www.wirelessamberalerts.org;
or
- Register on your carrier’s Web
site.
These subscribers become the eyes and ears of law enforcement when a
child has been abducted.
To date, AMBER Alerts have helped to
safely recover more than 360 children.
Join those who have already signed up for
Wireless AMBER Alerts™ and help
bring an abducted child home safely.
