How Can You Receive Amber Alerts on Your Cell Phone?

In summary, an Amber Alert is a notification system used to quickly spread information about a missing child. To receive Amber Alerts on your cell phone, you can sign up for the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) system, which can usually be done through your phone's settings or by contacting your wireless provider. You can also choose which types of Amber Alerts you receive on your cell phone by customizing your emergency alert settings. There is no cost for receiving Amber Alerts on your cell phone, as wireless providers are required to provide WEA alerts free of charge. These alerts are only sent out in serious situations when there is a confirmed child abduction or danger to a child in your area, so they are not frequent.

I just signed up for this and thought I would pass it on.

You give them your cell phone number and they notify you, via text messaging, of any Amber Alters within a certain mile radius of your area code. It is totally free and you can choose the hours you want to be notified.

As a Mother of 3 small boys I am ALL for this and thought you guys would want to know.
