How to Program an NFC Tag for SMS

Follow these steps to write a pre-set text message to your NFC tag.

1Select the Write Menu

Open the NFC Tools app. From the main dashboard, tap the Write button (the orange icon with a downward arrow).

2Add a New Record

Inside the Write menu, tap Add a record. This will open a list of different data types you can write to the tag.

3Choose the SMS Option

Scroll down through the record types and select SMS. This is perfect for things like pet collars or lost-and-found items.

4Enter Contact Details

In the "To" field, enter the phone number you want the message to go to. In the "Message" field, type your custom text (e.g., Hi! I found your pet!).

Tap the Checkmark in the top right corner when finished.

5Prepare to Write

You will see your record listed. Tap the Write / [X] Bytes button. A "Ready to Scan" dialog will appear.

6Scan and Confirm

Hold the back of your phone near the NFC tag. Once the app displays a green checkmark, your tag is successfully programmed! When scanned by a smartphone, it will now automatically prompt to send that SMS.
