Public Mobile customers can now receive AMBER Alerts on your phone

By on September 9, 2011 at 10:01am in Mobile News, Public Mobile


At last count there was 25,000 Canadians who opted in and subscribed to getting free AMBER Alerts texts on their mobile device. Every carrier was basically on the list, except new entrants Mobilicity and Public Mobile. However, Mobilicty joined the group in June and Public Mobile has now decided to help out with the cause. AMBER Alerts gives info about a child’s abduction and to sign up you can text the keyword AMBER to 26237.

    • Boring post you say? guess you have not lost a child & wouldn’t know how it feels eh? Stfu.

      Amber alerts are the best thing when someone goes missing. Its important to have them. If a child or a person gets lost or has been kidnapped people would not know unless amber alerts happen.

    • Read up on Amber Alerts, everyone. They are very ineffective at what they intend to accomplish. Still, it’s better than nothing.

  2. This is a good move. People will be able to distinguish real Alerts and chain mail.

    I got a forward (via BBM) an “Amber Alert” yesterday. I deleted them because I thought they were just spam/chain letters. That’s when I turned on the news and learned they were real.
