Welcome to AlterNetMessages
This service is designed for organizations & communities that need an automated way to deliver important messages to people's phones.
Who might need such a service?
County Officials - For emergency evacuation notifications, Flood or Fire Warnings, etc.
Schools - School closings - "Snow days", etc.
Transportation Agencies - Road/bridge closings, bus route changes, etc.
and many more.
How does it work?
AlterNetMessages is made up of two parts:
The Signup Applet
This is where individuals sign up to receive messages.
A person first becomes a member. Each person creates a login id & password and completes one page of information.
In the next step, the person sets up their phone. The person enters their phone number and for cell phones chooses if
they want to receive voice or text messages. The system then calls the phone and sends an activation code.
The person must enter the activation code on the screen to complete the process. This is to verify we have the correct
phone number for each person. This completes becoming a member.
Once a member, the person can select which messages they want to receive. Each person can return at any time and
change what messages they want to receive, change their phone and update their personal information.
The entire process is fast, simple to use. Plus installation is remarkably easy. You simply place a link on your
organization's web site and you're in business!
Message Center
The Message Center is for the client. Here you can:
- create the types of messages
- monitor member signups
- compose "canned" messages in advance
- broadcast messages to select groups or all members
- generate reports on messages sent
- by whom
- date
- type of message
- how many sent - broken down by voice, text & email
- and more

The AlterNetMessages Signup Applet
This is a service designed for organizations & communities that need an automated way to deliver important messages
to people's phones.
When we set up your organization, we replace the AlterNetMessages banner with yours. You compose your
"Welcome" message and the entire service looks and feels like an extension of your own web site. You then place a link
on your organization's web site and "presto!" you're in business.
When individuals click on your link, the AlterNetMessages Applet
appears where they become a member and select which messages they want to receive. It's fast, simple to sign up and a great new way
to get critical information out to your community.
Each Person Selects Their Messages
Each individual that wants to receive messages becomes a member. It's fast, easy to use and a person can be set up in minutes
to receive whatever messages they choose.
Multiple Agencies
AlterNetMessages is designed so that multiple agencies can all use the service. County officals, police departments, school districts,
transportation agencies and more will all be able to utilize the service. This is a terrific service that will allows your citizens to
receive the messages that are important to them!
What Can It Be Used For?
- Emergency Evacuation Messages
- Tornado/Flash Flood/Fire Warnings
- Amber Alerts
- School Closing Notices (snow days)
- Transportation Agency Messages
and many more
Select Phone & Type of Message
Each person selects the phone they want their messages sent to. AlterNetMessages can deliver voice,
text and email messages to phones.
This means AlterNetMessages can deliver messages to both cell phones and land line phones. This is critical as there are many
individuals who do not have cell phones. Email messages can be sent to those that have emails directed to their
mobile device (ie. iPhones, Blackberrys, etc.).
Broadcasting a Message - Sending a message is remarkably simple

After logging into the Message Center, you select what type of message you need to send.
Compose the text, voice and email message, click Send Messages and it's sent to everyone who selected that
message type. The functions tells you how many of each kind of message will be sent and the total cost.
AlterNetMessages is packed with features that make it remarkably powerful
Multiple Agencies can use the service - each controls their messages
Double Custody messages - requires two people to send message
Global Messages messages - that everyone who signs up will receive
Multiple Modes messages - can be sent via text, voice or email to individuals
Approval Required messages - individuals will only receive messages after being approved
