A Unified Solution with Multiple Uses

Every PhoneTag works the same way: someone scans, your phone rings, and you answer in a private live video call, voice call, or text. One account connects every tag you own in one convenient app for iPhone and Android. Add a tag in seconds, give it a name, and always know exactly which one was scanned.

Back to school

Peace of mind for the first day.

When they head back to school, PhoneTag keeps you close. If your child ever needs you, any teacher, coach, or bus driver can scan the tag on their backpack and reach you in seconds.

  • You're reachable in seconds. A trusted adult scans the tag and your phone rings, by live video, voice, or text.
  • Your number stays private. They connect to you without ever seeing your phone number or home address.
  • Nothing for them to install. Any phone camera works, and your child signs up for nothing.

Everyday moments.

No searching for phone numbers. Just scan to connect.

Peace of Mind

When the people who need you, can’t call for help.

A child too young to know your number. An elderly loved one who can’t reach their phone. When someone finds them, one scan of their PhoneTag connects a call, text, or video straight to you, and shows you where they are. You are the one they count on, and PhoneTag makes sure they can always reach you.

Live

The PhoneTag difference

Not just a message. A live video call.

Other tags leave a note or a number and hope for a callback. PhoneTag connects a real, face-to-face video call the instant your tag is scanned, so you can see what's happening and talk in real time, and live text chat is always there too.

PhoneTag + AirTag

AirTag tracks your things. PhoneTag connects you.

They solve two different halves of the same worry. One helps you track what you have lost. The other helps whoever finds it, or finds your child, reach you in seconds. They are not rivals. They are a team.

AirTag®

Tracks a thing

  • Pinpoints your item on a map whenever you want
  • Precision finding when you are close by
  • Works quietly in the background, no scan needed
  • Rides Apple’s Find My network worldwide
  • Ideal for keys, bags, and luggage you own
  • You do the finding
PhoneTag

Calls you directly

  • One scan reaches you in a live video call
  • No app for the person who scans, works on any smart phone
  • Your phone number is never shared
  • Made for people: kids, parents, anyone you love
  • Shows you where they scanned on a map
  • An AI assistant answers when you cannot
Best together. Put both on the backpack. If it goes missing, AirTag helps you find it. If a person needs to reach you, PhoneTag puts them on a call with you. Both directions covered, for the ultimate peace of mind.

Always-on backup

An AI assistant to back you up.

Life happens: you're driving, in a meeting, or fast asleep. When you can't pick up, PhoneTag's built-in AI assistant answers for you: it greets whoever scanned your tag, helps with what they need, and either takes a message or rings you to connect the call live.

  • Speaks in your words, guided by simple instructions you set.
  • Connects the call to you live, or takes a message if you're away.
  • Included with every account, so no scan ever goes unanswered.

What can I put a PhoneTag on?

Anything you don't want to lose touch with: a kid's backpack or jacket, a pet's collar, luggage, sports gear, a golf bag, or a loved one's bag. It's a lightweight, water-resistant connection tag, and you can mix and match as many as you like on one account.

How does pricing and renewal work?

Every PhoneTag is $9.99, one-time. Your first tag includes your first year of PhoneTag Family, with audio, video, and an AI assistant that can answer when you don't. Additional tags are $9.99 each with no additional membership fee, and one membership covers up to 12 tags. Your membership renews at $34.00 a year, billed securely through Stripe. Cancel anytime.

Is it safe to put a tag on my child?

Yes, that's exactly what it's designed for. The tag shows no name, number, or address. If someone scans it, they're connected to you instantly, in a live video call with private messaging and photo sharing; they never see your contact details; you decide what, if anything, to share. You can also see when and where the tag was scanned, and the whole family can be set to ring. Read exactly how we protect your family on our Safety page.

What if someone misuses the tag or keeps scanning it?

Every scan is logged with its time, location, and device, and shown in your PhoneTag app, including scans that never rang your phone or were answered by your AI assistant. Repeat scans are throttled automatically, one tap blocks a scanner for good (they just see "no one is available"), and one tap can report them to our safety team. You can also pause any tag instantly. Full details are on the Safety page.

Does someone need an app to reach me?

No. They just point their phone's built-in camera at the tag and tap the link, the call opens in their browser. The app is only for you.

How does the AI assistant work?

It's included with every account. A voice assistant that's trained on your own instructions can greet whoever scans the tag and answer questions based on your instructions, take a message, or ring you and connect the call live. Every membership includes 12 AI minutes a month; add 60 more for $8.00 a month, stackable, cancel anytime.

Does it really keep my phone number private?

Yes. Calls run over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection. Whoever scans the tag never sees your phone number, email, or address, only the call itself.
