How to set up your Bandie
How Bandie Works
What Is NFC?
NFC (Near Field Communication) is the same tap technology behind contactless payments, built into nearly every modern smartphone.
Bandie holds a secure NFC chip that stores one thing: the contact number you choose.
No signal. No GPS. No tracking.
SET IT UP ONCE
(This is the bit you do.)
- Scan the QR code in your Bandie packaging.
- Download the Bandie setup app.
- Enter the phone number a finder should call.
- Tap the band with your phone to link it.
Done. You can change the number anytime in the app.
HOW IT WORKS WHEN IT MATTERS
(This is what happens if your child or relative is found.)
1. Tap — A stranger holds their phone to the Bandie.
2. Your number appears — Instantly, on their screen.
3. They call you — And you're reconnected in seconds.
No app needed on their end. No fiddling. Just a number and a call.
WHY BANDIE IS DIFFERENT
- No battery — Nothing to charge. It can't run flat at the worst moment.
- No tracking — No location data, no personal details, nothing to hack.
- No subscription — Pay once, use it for years.
- Always ready — Set it once and forget it's even working.
MADE FOR REAL LIFE
Bandie quietly does its job wherever life gets busy or unpredictable:
- A child on a school trip or at a festival
- A parent with dementia who may wander from home or a care setting
- Crowded places — airports, markets, days out
- Anyone who'd struggle to share your number on their own
One band. The people you'd never want to lose, one tap away.
PHONE COMPATIBILITY
Bandie works with most modern smartphones that support NFC (recent iPhone and Android included). The person scanning needs no app and no setup. They just tap.
SIMPLE SAFETY. ALWAYS READY.
Whether it's a family day out or everyday peace of mind for an elderly parent, Bandie is the quickest way to bring someone back to the people who love them.
