I had heard about NFC Cards before, and it seemed like a good idea to try them out.

NFC stands for Near-Field-Communication. Many hotel cards use this technology as well as the “tap-and-go” or “payWave” functionality on some bank cards.

They are quite simple in the way that they work.

All you need to do is tap them to the top of an NFC-enabled smartphone.

This includes the iPhone 6 and onwards, and many Android smartphones.

 

Example with an iPhone 11:


Tap the phone to the card

How to program NFC Cards

It is quite easy to program these NFC Cards.

Simply download the NFC-Tools app on the App Store or Google Play store.

Text Box: Ø Text record Ø URL record Ø Link to file record Ø eMail record Ø Contact record Ø Phone number record Ø SMS record Ø Location record The app allows you to add many “records” to an NFC card, and also “Lock” an NFC card with a password.

 

If you had a plastic card printer, you could even print on these and create Smart Business Cards !
