FirstCall is the Interactive Network that will issue emergency warnings to the residents of Killeen via telephone. If you have an unlisted telephone number, there are three ways you can register it with FirstCall:
The numbers submitted to this program are protected, under the normal non-disclosure agreement that FirstCall and the client enter into. FirstCall only delivers the messages that the community officials tell us to deliver.
The public will not receive telemarketing calls from FirstCall.
1) Email - Allows the community to register unlisted or cellular numbers by submitting their information via the Internet.
Send an email to: unlisted@firstcall.net
List your:
Full Name
Phone Number
Street Address
City, State, Zip Code
2) Telephone - The Registration Line is a toll-free number for members of a community with unlisted phone numbers or cellular numbers to call and register to be part of the program.
The number to FIRSTCALL Network’s
Registration Line: (866) 484-3264.
This process is very user friendly.
Once the public calls the line they will be prompted on each step of the process. These prompts guide the user in how to use the system and what information to leave.
The system will ask for:

Once the submitted number has been entered into the system, the person registering will then receive a message via the submitted number as a call back from the system confirming their registration.
