After having all Tier-1 carriers across the country come to an agreement surrounding the use of the Wireless Emergency Alerts, Sprint is the first U.S. carrier to enable the services. Working together with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Sprint customers will be able to accept SMS alerts from the president of the United States, the National Weather Service and state and local emergency operations centers based on their location. The service is an opt-in choice, and those wishing to do so will need to activate it on capable handsets by completeing the following process:
Sprint customers can activate the service by dialing ##CMAS# or ##2627#, and choosing to “enable the CMAS client” when prompted.
Sprint will be testing Wireless Emergency Alerts in New York City, along with the New York City Office of Emergency Management, the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate, and FEMA using different geo-targeted wireless alerts to Sprint devices located in Brooklyn, The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. More info and a list of compatible can be found past the break or via the Sprint website in the link below.
