If you are using a cell phone, you need to verify with your carrier that text messaging is active on your cell phone.
Most wireless carriers offer a limited number of text messages per month for free, while some charge a few cents per message. In most cases, the cost for receiving alerts from this system will only add a few dollars to your annual cell phone bill, while providing you a valuable potentially life saving service.
The organization you signed up through for this service may also send you messages and some of these messages may be related to the nature of your relationship with that organization.
Below are the carriers' most basic text messaging plans and their costs. The information below is considered to be highly accurate, but is not guaranteed. Cell phone carriers frequently change plan options, so please contact your carrier in order to obtain the most up to date information.
NOTE: After registering, we strongly suggest you use the test feature available on most of the Home pages of most cell phone carriers. You can also have a friend or family member send you a text message page to ensure that text messaging is active on your phone. Please also watch for the sign up confirmation text message you are slated to receive after you register to receive alerts from Cell Phone C.O.P.S.
