A system and method for anonymously establishing telephonic connections includes a plurality of identification tags, a master control telephone calling card, a computer-executable program, a voice synthesizer and a telephone switch. The identification tags are carried by persons, pets or objects and each include unique visible indicia which provide instructions on how a holder or finder of an identification tag can make a toll-free telephone call to a person responsible for the person, pet or object carrying the identification tag. The visible indicia also include a simplified menu of system inputs. The system employs the computer-executable program and the voice synthesizer to interactively prompt a caller to select and enter inputs from the menu shown on the tag. The system then employs the selected inputs and stored data accessible to the computer executable program to anonymously establish telephonic connections at the telephone switch between the caller and a person responsible for the person, pet or object associated with the tag. The master control card is provided to a system subscriber and has visible indicia including a master control personal identification number (PIN). When the master control PIN is provided to the system, a different portion of the computer-executable program is executed thereby enabling the system subscriber to remotely change the stored data exploit other system features which are inaccessible to holders of the identification tags.
