This Friday, May 25, is National Missing Children’s Day, and the wireless industry, in partnership with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the U.S. Department of Justice, is reminding consumers of the role that they can help play to aid in the recovery of abducted children, by signing up to receive free Wireless AMBER Alerts.
Any wireless subscriber capable of receiving text messages, and whose wireless carrier participates in the Wireless AMBER Alerts have the option of receiving the warnings. Currently nearly 30 carriers in the U.S., which combined serve more than 93 percent of the country, offer the free Wireless AMBER Alerts program to their subscribers.
