The Smart Thing for us to do is to be worthy of your Trust!
The Smart Thing for you to do is to know Who to Fear and Who to Trust!
Email and CellPhone privacy/spam are very important concerns. This is understandable, given how bad the problem of Spam and Unsolicited Marketing has become in recent years. Cellphone Spam can be especially annoying because the contents of spam are usually Pornographic, useless Pump and Dump Stock Tips or Nigerian million dollar baits that'll rob you of your money! This issue is of extra significance for our service because our Cellphone text/voice alerts are the most critical and useful tool you can benefit from.
To help you make a smart and informed decision in this regard we have devoted an entire page with information and perspective. A majority of the people realize we're worthy of their trust, and derive great benefits from our service. We will try to help you reach the same conclusion, but ultimately it's your decision.
You make the decision, and you live with it! You lose more than us if you reach the wrong conclusion.
Here's our Promise:
We will use your Cellphone number ONLY to send you alerts YOU want, WHEN you want, UNTIL you want them.
NEVER before. NEVER after. NEVER for anything else! And NO ONE ELSE will see it!
- Question: What is the effect of subscribing to WiiAlerts.Com on the SPAM you will receive?
Answer: Nothing. It won't go UP. It won't go DOWN!

- The amount of spam you will receive will not increase by 1 piece.
This is because we will never send you any spam. We will not share your Email or CellPhone number with anyone. It is not Profitable to do that. It is not Smart to do that. It is Stupid to do that. We are not Stupid, we are Smart. Being Good and Trustworthy is Being Smart!
We also ask for the minimum amount of information we need to help you(Email and Cellphone number). We intentionally do not ask for any more personal or financial information. We don't need it. If we had bad intentions, we would've asked you for more information like every other site on the Internet! We also take all measures possible to prevent unauthorized access to your information.
- The amount of spam you will receive will not decrease by 1 piece.
Unfortunately, Spam of all kinds (Email, Instant Messenger, and CellPhone) is extremely widespread and quite random. Google search "Cellphone spam" and read some links. Here's one interesting blog post. We receive Spam on our Cellphones sporadically (We have a lot of cellphones on different carriers for testing. We know this stuff very well!). This is a constant battle and will never be won fully because of a fundamental reason: If the Good Guys can send you a message, the Bad Guys can send you a message too! And Technology can never fully distinguish a good message from a bad one! If you happen to be in the random list of some spammers, you will receive their spam. We don't have the power to stop Spam you get from other sources. Even Bill Gates doesn't. Even God doesn't! If God had an Email account or a Cellphone, it'd have Spam. Guaranteed.

Question:
Will you have Complete control over what you receive and when you receive it?
Answer: Absolutely. Always.

One of our key design principles is to give users complete control over every aspect of their subscription. We put in a lot of effort to make this possible.
Remember one thing: Just go to the Manage Page! You can control everything from one page.
We give you the choice to get Email or Cell Alerts. You choose the products you want to get alerts for. You can add/delete products or subscriptions anytime. You can specify Quiet Times for your cellphone alerts. We give you control over everything we can.

Our Alerts system is designed to be extremely effective and a pleasure to use.
You will be cheating yourself if you don't get the benefit of it's fullest potential.

You might not know how precious seconds and minutes are. You will know soon!
Our Alerts system is the absolute best in what it attempts to do. These systems were not put together in a day, but are the result of many months of intense focus and efforts. These were designed and built for this purpose and to be incredibly effective and easy to use. We had to overcome a zillion technology and policy challenges with Cellcompanies infrastructure and regulations. Most other systems(including Cellphone networks!) were built to respond in several minutes and hours, not seconds and fractions of minutes like this field requires! We continue to improve all aspects of our service at a rapid pace.
If you don't use the alerts sytem effectively, you will just waste your time unnecessarily and be back to running around stores. Be it to buy a Wii at Amazon or a hard to find game or an Ebay auction, you can save yourself a bunch of money and headache using our alerts.

Check our reputation on Internet Forums and with friends!
There's no better way to separate the Bad from the Good!
[more]

The Internet makes information/reviews/opinions available very easily. Web Forums are extremely effective in discovering good products and sites, and knowing who the bad guys and scamsters are! We are an extremely popular site with lots of users with personal experiences.
- Ask your friends who have used our site about their experience.
- Go to popular web forums like (FatWallet, Slickdeals or others) and search for wiialerts. These sites are visited by hundreds of thousands of people, and you will find many many posts and threads about us. If a site or business is not a good citizen and live up to its promise, you would have numerous posts mentioning the problems.
- Just Google our site and read through the hundreds of results
Caution: Be smart when you are looking at posts and opinions. Speech on the Internet costs nothing! Anyone with half-a-brain (or an evil brain) and access to a computer (which is everybody in the country) can talk and post. So you have to be careful to exclude unreasonable posters and claims. Otherwise if you believe everything you read you might as well believe all the Conspiracy Theories!

All our subscribers come to us from word-of-mouth referals and forum posts.
We do not spend a dollar on advertising. Sites of questionable reputation spend lots of money on Google Ads!

If you think about it, that's a powerful endorsement of the value and trustworthiness of our service.
Would any friends and forum posters refer people to bad sites?

We look to Google (Not Microsoft, Not Yahoo!) for inspiration in most aspects.
Would Google Spam it's users? Would it be Smart to do that?
[more]
[less]
In most things, we are inspired by Google. While we might never be even a thousandth the size of Google, we like to be just as effective and good in what we do.
- Google is incredibly successful. But look at Google Homepage. Simple. No Ads!! Not even Google Ads! Look at MSN. Too Cluttered. Not Good!
- Look at our site. No Ads!! Not even Google Ads! There's nothing wrong with Ads. We just don't like them on our site at this time. It's our site, so we do what pleases us!
- Everything Google does, it does better than anybody(so far!). Google Search is fantastic. Simple. All the complexity is behind the scenes. Yahoo search is terrible. MSN search is terrible. Gmail is fantastic but it's the new kid on the block! Yahoo Mail is terrible. Hasn't improved in 10 years? Hotmail is not that great either.
- Okay, you get the idea!! We're the Google of what we do! And the most important motto of Google is Don't Be Evil!
-
Our (and your) success depends critically on mutual trust.
It'd be Stupid to do anything that reduces that trust.
We're not Stupid! We're Smart. That should be quite evident.

Our principle of operation is very simple. We provide a service that's incredibly useful and our subscribers use it to buy from our links and partner sites, and make voluntary fee payments(notice, this requires us to trust our users!). We meet our costs and make extra money when our users buy through our links and shop at our partner sites. We get a small commission from the retailers at no extra cost to you. Not all retailers pay commission, but we do what's best for our users, and everybody's happy!

We're very serious about security. We are McAfee HackerSafe certified.
HackerSafe is the best available security certification for Websites.

- We do the very best we can in every respect. It shows.
- In life there are no 100% guarantees. If you look for 100% guarantees you'll never leave your house. But you might not be 100% safe in your house or anyplace! John F. Kennedy got shot. Ronald Reagan got shot. They had the world's very best security. Didn't help! Strangely enough, the only place 100% safe might be in a grave. Kennedy and Reagan must be perfectly safe now!
- We admit we might not have Pentagon level security. But we're not holding the keys to Nuclear missiles. And remember, Pentagon got hit by the 9/11 attacks!

A very small fraction of you WILL get SPAM sometime after you signup with us.
But signing up for our service has nothing to do with it! That's how random events work.
[more]
[less]
- When you have a large number of people in a group, a small fraction of that group is bound to get hit by random events as sure as day follows night. You should've paid attention in Math Class if you don't understand this! There is someone bound to win the lottery. You just can't tell who it will be beforehand. If you flip a coin you will get a head or a tail. If you flip a lot of coins you will get a head. Real life is even more random and harder to characterize than Math!
- Spammers do very random things. They pick blocks of numbers/emails or random sets of numbers/emails and Spam them. Spam is everywhere. If you're in that block of numbers you will get that Spam.
- There's nothing we can do. There's nothing you can do (except throwing away the phone and going back to the 16th century!)
- But if we have anything to do with that Spam, we'll know because a Statistically Significant number (more than couple a week?) of our subscribers will get spammed. That has never happened. We will do everything we can so it will not happen.

Fantastic Results. Super Easy. Fun. No Ads. Absolutely No Spam!
That about describes our site. And the Top 10 Reasons why you should use us just finished!
[more]
[less]
- There's nothing wrong with Ads. All the big sites have Ads. We just don't like them on our site now.
We might have Ads that are unintrusive at some point, but it's unlikely.
- Spam is Evil. Unsolicited Annoying Marketing is Evil. We will never have anything to do with it. Ever.
- If we ever meet a spammer, We'll beat him/her up worse than THIS. That's our second promise!
That should be enough Math, Economics, Technology, History, Philosophy and simple Commonsense packed into one page!
Commonsense is a surprisingly UNcommon thing in this world, which is the reason for lots of silliness that happens all around us.
Now you can make your decision on how you want to use our Email/Cell Alerts, and what you can expect to get out of our service. And you deal with the consequences. As in everything, we give you the choice!
