Amber Alerts available on your cellphone

The Coordinators of the Amber Alert Program, in partnership with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the Sûreté du Québec and Montreal Police invite Quebec cellphone users to subscribe to the Wireless AMBER Alerts.

The completely free Wireless AMBER Alerts program is available to cell phone users and subscribing is easy to do either online at www.WirelessAMBER.ca or directly from your wireless device. Wireless AMBER Alerts add a valuable new method to assist AMBER Alert agencies in providing the public with immediate and up-to-date information about a child’s abduction, and to solicit the public’s help in the safe and swift return of the child.

Subscribing Online at www.WirelessAMBER.ca:

1. Enter your 10-digit mobile number, including area code and click Submit.

2. You will then receive a text message on your mobile phone with a four-letter validation PIN code. Enter the PIN online and click Submit.

3. The Subscription page appears, with your home province or territory defaulted. Here you have the ability to check or uncheck additional provinces you wish to subscribe to.

4. To modify your subscription at any time to add or remove a province(s) or territory, just visit www.WirelessAMBER.ca and enter your 10-digit mobile number and confirm using the four-letter validation PIN code. You will then be presented with a page where you have the option to update your selected provinces or territories. To unsubscribe from your current subscription, simply unselect all checkboxes. Alternatively, you can send the keyword STOP to 26237 (AMBER) at any time from your mobile phone.

Subscribing with Your Wireless Device:

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