katt_goddess Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Well hell, i think potato bug is registered through someone else but still. These places should have it set up to transfer info to another holder so people don't have to freak out. 2 Quote
lupin_bebop Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Sigh. It’s sad they weren’t forward thinking or insightful enough to make these things universal or easy to transfer to another service/company if things like this went down. Quote
André Toulon Posted February 13 Posted February 13 I just found out the chip isn't like a GPS. I just defaulted to that, but it just has its info on it. Why isn't it traceable with a phone app or something. Quote

Why isn't it traceable with a phone app or something. It gets scanned by a vet/the pound if found and that's how they access the info. It's just a passive note. You can access that file yourself as the owner in order to change necessary info like new address/new phone but through the website of the company that holds that info. But if there isn't a place holding all that info for the scanner to ping, it might not work anymore. I think it would be like trying to access the old boards from an archived link - you'd just get an error. 1 Quote
