Rated 5.0 on the App Store.
A great product with a great price. You can never be too cautious!
Brilliant tool for keeping those closest to you safe and always within reach of assistance.
PhoneTag started at our kitchen table. We wanted anyone at our door, a delivery driver, a neighbor, a visitor, to reach us in seconds without wiring cameras into the house or giving out our number. Every order is packed and shipped by us, and if the Doorbell isn't right for your door, send it back within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked.

How it works
They scan. Your phone rings. Anywhere.
Stick it by your door
Adhesive mount, no wiring, no batteries, no hub. Renters welcome.
A visitor scans it
They point their phone camera at the tag. No app, no account, any phone.
Your phone rings live
A real call with live video, at home or across the world. The whole household can ring.
Or the AI answers
The receptionist greets them, takes a message, and can connect the call to you live.
Always answered
An AI receptionist at your door.
In a meeting, on vacation, or just not home: when you can't pick up, the built-in AI receptionist answers the door for you. It greets the visitor, answers questions with instructions you set, takes a message, or rings you and connects the call live.
- Handles deliveries: "Leave it by the garage" without you lifting a finger.
- Connects the call live when it matters, or takes a message when it doesn't.
- Included with service, with 15 AI minutes a month per doorbell.
The honest comparison
PhoneTag Doorbell vs. camera doorbells
A camera doorbell records your porch all day. PhoneTag connects the person standing at your door to you, live. Different jobs; here is the honest breakdown.
| PhoneTag Doorbell | Camera doorbell (Ring, Nest) | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $9.99 + $4.99/mo, first month free | $60 to $230 + $5 to $10/mo plans |
| Installation | Adhesive, 30 seconds | Wiring or charging, wifi setup, drilling |
| Power and wifi at the door | None needed, ever | Required |
| Live video with visitors | Yes, two-way, from any phone | Yes, via the vendor app |
| 24/7 recording and motion alerts | No, it connects people, it does not surveil | Yes, that is its main job |
| AI answers for you | Yes, built in | Limited quick replies |
| Renter and HOA friendly | Yes, no drilling, take it when you move | Often restricted |
If you want a security camera, buy a security camera. If you want visitors, deliveries, and guests to reach you instantly, wherever you are, for $9.99, that is the PhoneTag Doorbell. Plenty of homes run both.
Where it lives
Any door. Any gate. Any desk.
How does a video doorbell work without a camera?
The visitor's phone is the camera. They scan the PhoneTag Doorbell with their phone camera and a private live video call to you opens in their browser. They can show you themselves, a package, or a delivery label. Nothing is installed on your door but the tag.
Does it work when I'm not home?
Yes. The call rings your phone wherever you are, and the whole household can be set to ring. If nobody answers, the AI receptionist greets the visitor, takes a message, and can connect the call live.
Do I need wifi, power, or a hub at the door?
No. The tag has no battery and no electronics. The visitor's own phone provides the camera, microphone, and connection.
Can renters use it?
Yes. No drilling, no wiring, no landlord permission needed. Mount it with adhesive and take it with you when you move.
What does the visitor see?
A call screen with the label you choose, such as "Front door". Never your phone number, name, or address. Every scan is logged with its time and location, and unwanted visitors can be blocked with one tap.
How much does it cost?
The doorbell is $9.99 one time, plus $4.99 a month for service, and the first month is free. Every order carries a 30-day money-back guarantee.
