Does my Smart Card work without internet?

The NFC tap itself does not need internet, but the person's phone needs an internet connection to load your digital profile. For fully offline sharing, save your card to Apple or Google Wallet.

What needs internet and what does not

Does not need internet

• The NFC tap between your card and their phone • The QR code scan (the camera reads the code without internet)

Needs internet

• Loading your digital profile (it is a webpage) • The contact capture form • Downloading your contact details via the Save Contact button

Sharing without internet

If you know you will be somewhere with poor signal (basement venues, rural areas, flights):

Option 1: Apple or Google Wallet pass

Save your V1CE card to your phone's wallet. The wallet pass stores your contact details locally on your phone. You can show the QR code to others even without internet.

Option 2: Offline QR code

V1CE offers an offline QR code feature that encodes your basic contact details directly in the QR code. When scanned, the contact details are added to the phone without needing to load a webpage.

Tips

• Save your card to your wallet before attending events in case the venue has poor signal • The wallet pass is also a great backup if you forget your physical card
