Vocomo supports Wireless Amber Alerts an initiative put together by the CWTA (Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association).

In the mobile space there are a number of mobile based programs that provide valuable content to end users.  Wireless Amber alerts is a province-wide initiative which partners the province’s law enforcement community, media broadcasting agencies and the public in notifications about abducted children. AMBER Alerts provide the public with immediate and up-to-date information about a child’s abduction by widespread media broadcasts and solicit the public's help in the safe and swift return of the child. Every province in Canada has an AMBER Alert program.

Subscribing with Your Wireless Device

Most customers can follow these instructions to subscribe to Wireless AMBER Alerts using their wireless device.

• Send the keyword AMBER (or amber) to Short Code 26237 (AMBER).
• You will be asked whether you would like to receive alerts in English or in French. Reply with either EN or FR.
• You will receive a WAP Push link to a mobile site with your home province defaulted. For example, if you sign up using a mobile phone number with a 416 area code, you will automatically be signed up to receive AMBER Alerts originating from Ontario.
