    A contact link is a short URL that opens a contact page or a digital business card.

    A personalized link is a contact link that uses readable keywords. The link that you get when you register is a randomly generated contact link and it is usually not readable. Personalized contact links are readable links which makes it easier to memorize and recall.
    You can buy it for a cost of 15 Kontakme credits (around US$3). You can get a personalized link as soon as you complete your registration for free during our promotional sign-up period.

    A contact page is a mobile optimized webpage that consolidates the contact information and social network pages of an individual who wishes to promote his or her services to the public or to a select group. The page is designed in such a way so that the call and messaging functions are well integrated with the smartphone's call and messaging functions. It is carefully designed to automatically use the user's information and profile images when sharing the page to the most popular social network pages.

  • How many personalized links can I purchase?
    Open or Close
    Your basic subscription is allowed a maximum of 5. We do not allow more than 5 because the service is supposed to make it easier for someone to remember contact info. If you have more contact links, you will make it difficult for other people to remember your contact link. We recommend you only use one contact link if possible. Create multiple accounts if you want to use contact links for different set of audiences (e.g. for business only, for personal use only.
  • How many Kontakme me accounts can I create and do they expire?
    Open or Close
    1 unique username can create only 1 Kontakme account. You can create multiple Kontakme accounts as long as you use different usernames per account and you can use the same email address. Accounts that have no activity for six (6) months will be expired on a case to case basis. No activity refers to the following:
    1. No clicks on any of the associated contact links.
    2. No login within 6 months.
  • Is the Kontakme service free?
    Open or Close
    The basic service is free. When you sign-up for a Kontakme account, you are given one random contact link, and 15 credits to allow you to select your own personalized contact link. You are given a 1 month free premium subscription that will allow you to do the following:
    1. Edit the premium fields (subject to change without prior notice)
    2. Add a logo or a small banner image and alternately display them in the contact page.
    3. Change the "More info" section
    4. Change your profile.

    After 1 month, your account falls back to the basic subscription service and you will not be able to edit the premium fields. You will be able to edit the premium fields using credits to which cost around 1 USD for a 1 week access. If you do not change contact information often, you really do not need to buy any subscription. Your contact link and contact page will continue to work as long as you keep on sharing your contact link.
  • Which part of the service is not free?
    Open or Close
    1. The personalized contact links.
    2. The premium fields access

  • Why should I get a Kontakme personalized link?
    Open or Close
    The personalized contact link is easier to remember than a phone number or an e-mail address. Instead of giving out several links to your company websites, twitter accounts and facebook pages, you only give away a single link that consolidates your contact information and webpages.

    You can use it in your business card because it makes it easier to save the contact information in the business card.

    You can use it in your print ads because it can open more links to information that your readers might want to know. Newspaper ad space is expensive, but with Kontakme you are virtually squeezing a lot of information using a single, easy to memorize link.

    It is a perfect marketing tool because it can be made viral. It can be passed on conveniently via SMS, email, verbally, or through social networks with our easy to use user interface.
