Frequently asked questions

How does a smart ID tag or bracelet actually work?

Smart ID tags and bracelets use simple tap technology that allows instant access to important contact information when scanned with a compatible smartphone. When someone taps the tag, the contact details and information provided by the issuer appear so they can quickly call or text the owner. All information displayed is submitted by the purchaser, and no additional information will be added or changed unless it is provided directly by the purchaser.

What does I.C.E. mean on the bracelet?

I.C.E. stands for In Case of Emergency. It lets others know that important contact or medical information is available if assistance is ever needed.

What does the symbol under I.C.E. mean?

The icon beneath I.C.E. is a universal tap symbol. It indicates that the bracelet can be tapped with a compatible smartphone to instantly access the emergency contact or important information provided by the wearer or purchaser.

Can I program the Smart ID tag myself?

Yes. If you are comfortable with technology and prefer to set it up on your own, simply let us know at the time of purchase that you would like the do-it-yourself option. You will receive a stylish Smart ID accessory along with easy step-by-step instructions on how to program the tag using a compatible NFC app. This option gives you full control to add, update, or change your contact information whenever you choose.

What can I program on my Smart ID tag and what does each option do?

Smart ID tags are very flexible and can be programmed to instantly share different types of information when tapped with a smartphone. Here are the most common options and what each one does:

Phone Number
When tapped, the finder’s phone will open a call screen with your number ready to dial. This is the fastest way for someone to contact you in an emergency.

SMS/Text Message
Opens a text message window addressed to your phone number so the finder can quickly send you a message with their location or details.

Contact Card
Displays your saved contact information (name, phone, email). The finder can save your contact directly into their phone.

Email (Mail)
Opens an email message to your chosen email address so someone can contact you if calling or texting isn’t possible.

Address / Location
Displays or opens a map to a specific address, which can help someone bring a pet or item directly home.

URL (Website Link)
Opens a webpage when tapped. This is often used for a custom pet or personal profile page that includes photo, contact buttons, and important details.

Custom URL/URI
Allows advanced users to link to a specific custom page, form, or function they create themselves.

Text Message Display
Shows a custom message when tapped, such as “If found please call me” with instructions.

Social Media Links
Opens a social media profile like Facebook, Instagram, or other platforms where you can be contacted.

Video Link
Opens a video page, helpful for instructions, introductions, or additional information.

Application Link
Can open or link to a specific app or app store page if needed.

Emergency Information Page
Opens a custom emergency profile with contact details, medical notes, or instructions provided by the purchaser.

Each Smart ID tag can be programmed based on your needs. Whether you choose a simple call button, a text option, or a full custom profile page, the goal is to make it easy for someone to quickly contact you when it matters most.

Is this better than a regular engraved tag?

Many people still use engraved tags, but smart ID tags allow you to display more information like multiple phone numbers, vet info, or emergency contacts instead of just one number

What happens if someone finds my pet or child?

If someone finds your loved one or pet, they can tap the tag with their phone and instantly see your contact information so they can call or text you right away.

Will all phones scan or tap the tag?

Most modern smartphones can tap and read smart ID tags. However, it’s always recommended to also keep traditional ID or microchipping as a backup safety method.

Should smart tags replace traditional ID tags or microchips?

No. Many users recommend using smart ID tags as an additional safety tool, not a replacement for microchips or traditional engraved tags.

What information should I put on the tag page?

Most people include:

  • Name
  • Photo
  • Phone number
  • Backup contact
  • Medical or allergy info (if needed)
  • City/state

Are smart ID bracelets helpful for kids or seniors?

Yes. Many parents and caregivers use ID bracelets or necklace so if a child or senior gets separated, someone can quickly contact family using the information on the tag.

What if someone doesn’t tap the tag?

While most people will try to contact an owner, no product can guarantee a pet or person will be returned. Smart ID tags simply make contacting you faster and easier if someone chooses to help.

Is my information safe?

You control what information appears on your tag page. Most people share only necessary contact details so a finder can reach them quickly.
