Name: PhoneTag
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Mike, and I built PhoneTag with my wife Mia and two longtime friends. Here's the honest origin: our kids are grown now. But the worry never retired, it just changed shape. Our parents are at the age where they don't always carry a phone, or keep it charged, or remember where it is. And once we saw the problem, we saw it everywhere in every family we know: the people you love most are often exactly the ones who can't be reached. A kid too young for a phone. A grandmother out on her walk. A college student's luggage sitting in an airport an ocean away. A neighbor's son with special needs who knows his routine but not a phone number. So we built the simplest bridge we could think of: a $9.99 tag. Whoever finds it, or finds the person wearing it, points their phone camera at it and a private live video call to your family opens right in their browser. No app for them, no account, and your number is never shown. If nobody can pick up, an AI assistant answers, takes a message, and can ring us through live when it matters. Things we sweated: - Privacy above everything: no ads, no trackers, no data sold. Kids never make accounts. The person scanning sees a first-name label you choose ("Contact Rose's family") and nothing else. - It has to work for the helper, not just the owner: any phone, any age, zero setup. The kindness of a stranger should only need one tap. - No battery, nothing to charge, nothing to pair. It works the same on day one and day one thousand. Every order is packed and shipped from our home on Long Island. The first month of service is free, and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee, because we know "QR tag with a membership" earns skepticism until the first time your phone rings from a scan. I'll be here all day. Ask me anything, happy to answer.
