Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying animals with radio frequency identification transponders using phone number identifiers stored within ISO 11784 code structures in ISO 11784/85 compatible implantable transponders. These phone identification (ID) transponders feature unique telephone numbers, allowing pets to be returned to their owners through direct phone contact, for which ISO 11784 standard does not provide. The phone number information can be stored prior to implantation or after implantation depending upon the type of transponders being utilized. More particularly, within the ISO 11784 code structure, phone number related country codes are stored in bits 17-26, and phone numbers are stored in bits 27-64. Un-used digits can be filled by adding leading zeros or trailing zeros or both, as desired. In addition, variations can be provided to account for particular country conditions, such as 12-digit phone numbers in Germany.
