- 44 778 155 5666 (United Kingdom) - Check the use SMS checkbox for the mobile telephone you wish to register for SMS service.
- Click activate .
ADAMS will then send an SMS message containing a three-digit activation code as well as the phone number to be used for activation and future whereabouts updates. - You should proceed with the activation via SMS with the three-digit code within 24 hours.
