Customers can opt-in by going to www.verizonwireless.com, and choosing “send TXT messages” from the GetItNow. drop-down menu, or by logging directly into www.vtext.com, Verizon Wireless TXT Messaging site. At the www.vtext.com, customers sign in with their mobile number and password. Once there, customers go to the “Alerts” page, and choose the “News and Tech” category. The Wireless AMBER Alerts icon will appear on that page, and when customers click on that, they will be prompted to enter the zip code for which they want to receive the Wireless AMBER Alert. Verizon Wireless customers may also go to the Wireless Amber Alerts website (a website managed by CTIA). Once there, the customer will be asked for his or her telephone number, and after entering it, the Alerts page of www.vtext.com will come up on the screen, and the customer will follow the same instructions as above.
