FAQs
Do all smartphones support NFC business cards?
Most smartphones from 2018 onward support NFC. iPhone 7+ with iOS 13+ and mid-range Android phones almost always work. Entry-level phones under $150 may omit NFC hardware.
Which NFC tag type is most compatible?
NTAG213, NTAG215, and NTAG216 are the most compatible chip formats, working on 99% of modern smartphones. Avoid MIFARE Classic for iPhones — iOS 14+ dropped support.
Can older iPhones read NFC business cards?
iPhone 7, 8, and X support NFC but require iOS 13+ and an app trigger for reading. iPhone XS and newer have background NFC read and are more reliable.
Do NFC cards work with phone cases on?
Thin cases under 3 mm usually work. Thick, metal, or RFID-blocking cases block the signal. Remove the case if the card fails to read.
Does MMEETT C04 work with both iPhone and Android?
Yes. MMEETT C04 is fully compatible with iPhone XS and newer, plus Android 8.0+ devices with NFC. The card auto-detects the phone OS and adapts the tap response.
