Wireless Amber Alerts
by Justin Horn on Sep 3rd, 2008 @ 1:24 pmI just saw a commercial for Wireless Amber Alerts and decided to visit the main Amber Alert Website to check it out. From here I found a link to the site dedicated to the wireless alert system (http://www.wirelessamberalerts.org). You can enter up to 5 different cities to receive alerts for…although they tell you most amber alerts are state wide so entering one city will probably be enough.
The only limit I see is the cost of text messages, but when it’s child’s life at stake I don’t think people will mind spending ten cents and a lot of people now have text messaging plans anyway. Would be great in the future if we get an Amber Alert app for the iPhone which can get notifications via the future push service. This could give more information than a text message as well as unchain the system from text messages.
