I got my Dot Thin setup, but I need to pay monthly fee to upload the social on my profile. I didn’t know I have to pay $10 monthly fee otherwise I would not purchase this Dot Thin.
I ordered mine last week and got it today and it works fine. No issues and I did test using it already. I am excited to have it and use it. It works for todays market. It is $20.00 once for life for each and a $5.00 shipping. I think the card is the best option but to each their own. I am going to use it more starting now. I had a shipping issue and the company was very fast and worked on the issue and took care of it same day. So far I am very impressed.
I just ordered mine bro, u paid 20 dollars to active the card or the 20 dollars u spent on the card comes with it activated already? Sorry if I don’t make sense
I bought this and now know that money doesnt grow on trees. The dorections to activate is Bull. the app is terrible. I bought this on Amazon and at loeast they had customer service. The guy who wrote this review above obviously works for Dot. The advertising of what it is is misleading. Its a scavnger tool for marketing. And a piece of crap. after an hour of trying to activate and trying the non existent customer support and reading the many problems other have its 20 dollars in the garbage. I say dont spend your money on somehting you have no security with
I'm was just wondering, if the cards only cost $20 and is a one-time fee, how do they make any money on this service? I checked their privacy policy and they take the information you provide and sell it to other companies for targeted advertising to cover the ongoing costs. Now that may or may not be an issue to some, but I'd be curious about how much spam they generate in your email Inbox. While I like the idea of the card, I'm not fond of my information being sold to every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants it.
I've seen a ton of a videos and no one is showing. The fact that this comment has 12 likes and this person hasn't responded is giving me pause. I refuse to make the purchase without fully knowing how it works. I don't have all these social media accounts. I just want them to be able to download my contact info in a simple manner and the one time I recall trying to get someone's contact info from a DOT card, it was not as simple as I thought.
I had the same question. If they don't have their NFC on, does it still work? At 4:07, he says android users have to use the QR code. Which isn't true, because Androids still have NFC.
Does it work for android phones too since you specifically said "iphone" ? & if you buy a bundle with multiple cards do they all link to one profile or can you share the other one with someone else & both set up separate profiles on each card?
The "tapping" also works with Android. It works off of NFC which Android has had since at least 2012 or 2013. You have to know where your sensor is. (It's the same place when you use wireless pay. It maynot be at the top of your phone. You also have to have NFC turned on for it to work).
Just curious if your telephone number changes will this auto change for the people who has scanned your card or does it have to essentially be updated by another scan or manual update?
Just curious with all the scams out there how random people you meet and want to share your dot card with them, is there trust issues when you ask someone to let you hold up your dot card to their phone? Just curious if that was ever an issue
I think it's plausible but not viable because to download information the person on the giving end usually has to accept or deny data transfer even if the transferring service has been enabled
I have a trust issue with it . If they can give you information sooner or later it’s gonna take information, and or someone build the clone steals, your bank accounts and everything else thank you but I’ll stay with papper
What if someone wants you to send them your business card and are not next to you. Is there a way you can forward your info without being physically present ?
Good review of the dot. I'm definitely getting one. Android phones surpassed iPhones years ago though... js. I have an iPad pro for work but I still won't get locked down in apple platforms. I like my freedom.
How is this any different from creating a Beacon or link tree account and printing out one business card with the QR code on it and scanning it with the camera phone
If I want to separate my professional links from personal ones i.e. when I meet my friends and wanna share my social media pages ( FB,IG, etc) , it only shows them and not my LinkedIn, personal website, etc., but when I am at a professional venue, it shows my LinkedIn and/or other desired info, do I need an additional dot card or can I simply create two profiles and synch the card to the desired profile?
Hey! We’d love to get you a card for an honest review! Our NFC cards are FULLY customizable, inside and out. Our logo is no where on the card, and you can put any link on it you want. Only $20 too! Let us know :)
If you use the URL link of your YT account page and make sure that the link looks like this “channel/UCBNjp01VEj6duyuTB6nq34g” then it should work. Let me know if you have any more questions, i’ll do my best to help out 👍🏼
How does this work for companies with more than one employee? I assume I need 5 different cards and that each person would set up their own dot profile
homeboy, you know Android had NFC capabilities before iPhone did right? lol these will work with pretty much any smartphone in case anyone is wondering, don't need to use the QR code
If you use the URL link of your YT account page and make sure that the link looks like this “channel/UCBNjp01VEj6duyuTB6nq34g” then it should work. Let me know if you have any more questions, i’ll do my best to help out 👍🏼
I bought one. It didn't work. I emailed them 6 times and got no reply. Luckily I paid by PayPal and opened a dispute. I got my money back. It's a scam. I cut the card up to see if it even contained an RFID chip. It didn't. This is a scam.
Every time I scan my card, it goes right to my instagram account. I can’t figure out how to stop it from doing it. I just want it to show my contact info.
Does the other person need the app for it to work? Does it automatically get saved to their contacts?seems like the most important parts of of getting this card was left out
hey bro great review. I just got my black dot card today. I dig it but do you know if we can add 2 personal websites? it seems like we re only given the option to add 1 link per category (ex: email, FB, IG, website - you can only add 1 address. any insight? Thanks Diego
It goes in your Dot profile which is safely stored in the Dot website, I found that if you copy your URL from your profile and paste on your contacts on your phone then you can seamlessly share that info with other if that is how you prefer sharing your social media
I think that is a great idea. The first time I seen it I liked the idea. It looks like a huge time saver. The only downside I could see is people will scan it and be like oh ok this one only got 100 followers so I’ll just follow to unfollow later
SCAM! Buyer beware. Doesn’t work at all. Followed directions. No uploading at anyone else’s phone. Tried customer service. ZERO RESPONSE in four days now.
But the people who use this don't really care about follower count, lol. This is a business card. You use this to make business connections, not to inflate follower counts.
Do not buy. Waste of money not only does modern era cell phones come equipped with NFC features already that will enable you to share your contact information with another. Once you add the DOT to your phone you will continuously get a new window every time you open your phone (just now I had 64 windows on my phone that linked to my DOT profile. Causes your phone to run terribly slow. The DOT Thin doesn't work as advertised upon receiving it in the mail. I activated it then tried it out. After ensuring NFC features were enabled on both phones I attempted to share my contact information and IT DIDN'T WORK. A complete waste of $$$ go buy yourself a good lunch instead you'll thank me later.
yeah that’s your experience not mine i think it’s better then linktree and it’s easy to send your link via text or whatever and to be honest yeah you could make a linktree and tell people when your out and about “hey lemme give you my website” lol when you can just tap your card on their phone easy as that and also people nowadays everyone has iphone so it shouldn’t be an issue.
Great info, but I do have a question about the usability of the product. Ok so I share my contact with someone that has an iphone. How do they get my contact info (name, email and phone number) into their contacts? I see a "download contact" button but It's just a data file and I can't figure out how to import it into contacts. Appreciate the help!
I know this is a late reply, But with that When you Hit Download Profile on an Iphone, It automatically populates a new contact screen in your phone app. Which when you hit the check mark in the top right saves them in your contacts.
Thank you for the video. I'd like to know if this company has some sort of affiliate program? I'm in the Real Estate niche and the dot cards would go over fairly well. Are you an affiliate and if so, where did you apply?
Hey Diego, have you experienced that when someone opens the link after a tap, the profile doesn’t open & just shows a white screen. Any thoughts? Appreciate it
Stay away from the do t business card or classic Dot. They don't work at least the NFC part doesn't work and customer service is non-existent they do not contact you back save your money
Huge security implications here, having many pieces of your personal contact information on some public website that could go down any time or close for business entirely. Why not have the dot card push a .vcf file to the device? Malicious QR codes are also a major concern and scanning random QR codes can leave your device at risk. Be safe out there!
So, you mean, like dozens of websites that already exist that poll all your information? Even my LinkedIn has access to multiple social media profiles of mine, lol.
I’m with you , not a fan of scanning random things into my phone , honestly it’s bad practice but to each their own , will stay with physical cards or use a combination of both if this DOT tech becomes the new way
@@frenchcanyonfarms I think you've missed my point. The point is that the information LIVES on a public website, and is visible in the clear by someone with the token to view it. What happens when you have no Internet, which a large and growing number of people are working under now. 37% (and growing) of the world lacks Internet access. How does this work without it? How is the data encrypted with user-managed credentials? How is that encryption key managed and rotated?

Ditto
Probably ALOT OF SPAM BOTS
Apple Facebook and pretty much everyone else already has it.
Its just an over glorified business card with a QR Code, you can print one of these at staples for the paperclips and lint in your pocket
@@owexsolo you didn’t show the lint you had too that’s where you messed up!
So many glitches, I won’t subject my customers to this. Four out of four cards purchased didn’t work
Set is easy …the damn thing only works 10% of the time……WTF??!
I have had one for a while and I love it
Awesome!
Has it caused you to get a lot of spam emails?
What material is it made of ?
How does the recipient save your data/contact info?
I've seen a ton of a videos and no one is showing. The fact that this comment has 12 likes and this person hasn't responded is giving me pause. I refuse to make the purchase without fully knowing how it works. I don't have all these social media accounts. I just want them to be able to download my contact info in a simple manner and the one time I recall trying to get someone's contact info from a DOT card, it was not as simple as I thought.
Does this require the recipient to have settings on their phone (airdrop, bluetooth, or NFC turned on)? Or does this work with default phone settings?
I had the same question. If they don't have their NFC on, does it still work? At 4:07, he says android users have to use the QR code. Which isn't true, because Androids still have NFC.
Thanx. I was confused why all my links were broken.
How about if you have two Dot cards do you add it to one account or do you do a seperate accounts
Does it work for android phones too since you specifically said "iphone" ?
& if you buy a bundle with multiple cards do they all link to one profile or can you share the other one with someone else & both set up separate profiles on each card?
Yes I need this answered Diego!
The "tapping" also works with Android. It works off of NFC which Android has had since at least 2012 or 2013.
You have to know where your sensor is. (It's the same place when you use wireless pay. It maynot be at the top of your phone. You also have to have NFC turned on for it to work).
"also works with Android" 😂😂 it works with more android phones than it does iPhones 😂😂
@@jzurita6186 Exactly my point...
Thank you. You answered all my questions. What a great idea.
So it’s basically a digital way of forgetting and throwing out your business cards? 😂
I received my dot and the tap part does not wrk wat can I do
Reach out to customer support and they should send you a new one
it work for android u have to scan and if they have apple u can tap them works like it should. thanks for getting back to me tho
Just curious if your telephone number changes will this auto change for the people who has scanned your card or does it have to essentially be updated by another scan or manual update?
Manual Update
Does it penetrate the phone case people would have on the phone./
Yes 👍🏼
Just curious with all the scams out there how random people you meet and want to share your dot card with them, is there trust issues when you ask someone to let you hold up your dot card to their phone? Just curious if that was ever an issue

What if someone wants you to send them your business card and are not next to you. Is there a way you can forward your info without being physically present ?
Think about that question
People have link tress in damn near every bio
That’s really all you would need in a time like that
Dot card has a link you can send via text to person
Good video! Just ordered mine off of Amazon!
Good review of the dot. I'm definitely getting one. Android phones surpassed iPhones years ago though... js. I have an iPad pro for work but I still won't get locked down in apple platforms. I like my freedom.
Hmmm. Don’t think anyone cares
Okay
Thanks, I just ordered mine!!
thanks for the video! def helps me decide my purchase
Is there any additional payment for the profile or just the card cost?
How is this any different from creating a Beacon or link tree account and printing out one business card with the QR code on it and scanning it with the camera phone
not any different, if you are tech savy enough then you can do that!
If I want to separate my professional links from personal ones i.e. when I meet my friends and wanna share my social media pages ( FB,IG, etc) , it only shows them and not my LinkedIn, personal website, etc., but when I am at a professional venue, it shows my LinkedIn and/or other desired info, do I need an additional dot card or can I simply create two profiles and synch the card to the desired profile?
I believe you need two different cards
Just put all your accounts on 1 card and make all your accounts private so you have access control as to who can see what
Can I delete my acccount and give to my son to use?
Yes
Yeah I was planning on getting business cards , but seeing how people throw them away I opted not to get them , I’ll be getting this instead.

Absolutely!
How does this work for companies with more than one employee? I assume I need 5 different cards and that each person would set up their own dot profile
why did you say "tap it on the back of your iPhone"? Are we not speaking about someone else's phone to share contact info?
I just bought 2 dot cards can I keep one for my information and give one to someone as a gift for their info?
Yes
@@diego.delgado ok cool ty
What phone settings have to be on for the card to work?

One time purchase 👌🏼
This helped bro thank you!

Great Video! Question, can I add payment links to this? Example CashApp?? Thank you
Yes
Solid breakdown 👏
Does the other person need the app for it to work? Does it automatically get saved to their contacts?seems like the most important parts of of getting this card was left out
There is no app it’s simply a website that has your profile that contains your links or contact information. Good question 👍🏼
@@diego.delgado Does it automatically go into the person's contact on an iphone?

Try taking a picture of it, saving that and sending it.
bad cos it sends u to their own shit landing page _ can u adjust (the) landing page tobe what u want? Whats the tech?

As far as I know you can only have one linked address at a time, but I can take a look into it and I’ll let you know 😁
Way around this I found to be is using that website link as a link tree link so all my socials are in that link tree link
Is this only for iphone people?
Seems pretty cool
I cannot get my social media links to work. Any suggestions?
Where does the info go? Does it sync w contacts on my phone?
It goes in your Dot profile which is safely stored in the Dot website, I found that if you copy your URL from your profile and paste on your contacts on your phone then you can seamlessly share that info with other if that is how you prefer sharing your social media

Only works with apple devices I think
It opens as a link? So it doesn't save as a contact on their phone?

I just got 2 and have so many issues within 2 hours of setup... this is pathetic
