SMS WARDEN SYSTEM

We are pleased to announce the availability of a new Short Message Service (SMS) alert service for American citizens interested in receiving warden messages and security alerts from the Embassy on mobile phones. The service, which is optional, will run on an SMS system operated by Azercell.

To utilize the service, you must send an SMS message saying WARDEN to phone number 8212. After registering for the service, each subscriber will receive an SMS message confirming their registration with the system. The only cost associated with the service is the initial subscription fee of AZN 1 manat.  This fee is charged to your mobile phone by Azercell when you register your number by sending a SMS message “WARDEN” to 8212.  All subsequent SMS messages from the Embassy will be free of charge.
