Kids & School
Someone needs to reach you about your child.
On the bus, at pickup, at practice, or on a field trip. One scan connects them to you instantly.
In an emergency, how quickly can you be reached?
Introducing PhoneTag.
A smart QR tag that attaches to backpacks, jackets, lunchboxes, and more. If your child ever needs help, a simple scan allows a trusted adult to instantly call, text, or video chat with you while keeping your personal phone number private. Each scan also shares the tag's location, helping reunite families faster when every second counts.

Kids & the School Bus
She fell asleep on the ride home.
The driver scans the tag on her backpack and you're on a live call before the bus leaves the lot.
Kids & After School
Practice ends early, plans change.
The coach scans her bag and reaches you right away. No roster, no digging for numbers.
Kids & Public Spaces
A kid wanders away on a field trip.
A security guard wants to help, they scan the PhoneTag, your phone rings and you're connected to your child in seconds.
Peace of Mind
The people who need you, can’t always call for help.
A child too young to know your number. A parent 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, the moment it matters.
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.

How it works
They scan the QR code. Your phone rings.
They need to reach you
1Your child takes a tumble, gets turned around on a field trip, or a helper just wants to reach a parent.
A grown-up scans the tag
2A teacher, bus driver, or kind stranger points their camera at the tag, there's no app for them to install.
Your phone rings and lights up
3A real incoming call comes into your phone, even when it's locked. You can setup a whole family group to ring.
See the location before answering
4Talk by video, voice, or text, and you have an AI assistant that can answer for you when you can't.
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 membership starts with your first order: $4.99 a month covers the first tag, and each additional tag adds $2.99 a month. It includes audio and video calling and an AI assistant that can answer when you don't, with 15 AI minutes a month per tag. One account covers up to 12 tags, 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. It's a backup plan that's always available to help.
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.
