PhoneLess Keeps Emergency Numbers Off Your Phone
PhoneLess stores a small emergency-contact card that can be opened from any borrowed phone with a remembered PIN.
Field notes
The service is designed around a deliberately small emergency record rather than a full medical or identity profile. A user adds contacts, a short note, and one medical flag, then retrieves the card with a phone number and PIN from a borrowed browser. The visible safeguards include a 24-hour freeze after three failed attempts and email notifications for openings or attempted openings. The page also shows a planned text-alert feature and a paid tier with a mailed paper backup.
