What is NFC? Does my phone have it?

No. The tag opens the J.Rose page directly in the browser.

Who can see the message?

With open access, anyone who holds a smartphone to the tag. With protected access, only those who know the password.

Can I edit the message after saving it?

No. Before confirming you can review and change everything; once saved, the message stays as it is.

What if the recipient forgets the password?

The password cannot be recovered but the person who created the message can set a new one at any time.

How much does it cost?

Activating the message costs €5.50 VAT included.

The tag won’t read. What should I do?

Remove the case, hold the phone to the lower front of the bottle and keep it still for a few seconds. On Android, check that NFC is on. If the problem persists, write to info@jrose.it.
