Wireless Industry Helping Find Missing Children

SellyourCell.com Announces Agreement with WirelessAmberAlerts.org




Sellyourcell.com has become an official partner of wirelessamberalerts.org, a not-for-profit group organized by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) to promote rapid awareness of localized Amber Alerts. Visitors to www.wirelessamberalerts.org can sign up to receive local Amber Alert text messages on their cell phone.

The Amber Alert system was implemented following the 1996 abduction and murder of nine-year-old Amber Hagerman, and has become a nationwide system for alerting the public about child abductions. Past information provided by Amber Alerts, wireless and otherwise, have contained detailed descriptions of the child, their abductor, and the abductor’s vehicle. When this information is rapidly made public it can increase the likelihood that an abducted child may be safely recovered and reunited with their family.

SellyourCell.com, as an official partner of wirelessamberalerts.org, is doing everything it can to promote awareness of this important program, and we ask you to join us by telling your friends, neighbors, and relatives about the program. Sign-up is as simple as entering your phone number into the web form at www.wirelessamberalerts.org. There is nothing else to do. Once this simple step is performed, you will be notified immediately by text message of any Amber Alerts in your area.
