NFC technology

What is an NFC chip and how does it work?

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology that enables communication between any two devices. You almost certainly already use this technology for contactless payment with your bank card or mobile phone. The advantage of this technology is that no apps are required. The two devices simply need to be close to each other. NFC technology is known for its short-range capabilities, typically requiring a distance of 4 cm or less to establish the connection.

La Pierre d’éternité contains a hard-wearing, watertight NFC chip. Place your mobile phone or tablet near your memory stone to access the private and secure commemorative page.

How can I know whether my device is NFC-compatible?

Most current mobile devices such as phones and tablets are NFC-compatible. Go to the settings on your device and type "NFC" into the search field. If necessary, activate "Use NFC".

I don't have any device compatible with NFC. How do I access the commemorative space?

The commemorative space can be found using any internet browser. Simply enter the unique URL address or go directly to www.lapierredeternite.com.
