Any experience with lost pet locating products?

I know most people use microchips or traditional tags with phone numbers, but does that work well? Would you think a QR tag that can be scanned by any smartphone to reveal important information regarding the pet including owner’s contact info and simultaneously send a text message to the owner will be of value ? The product can also be used to reach the owner by using the website or by calling a toll-free number and used to organize file/document of the pet. We would love to hear about your opinion about this product and whether it will generate some extra value for certain groups of users.

Microchips here in the UK are no proof of ownership, only who registered it.

Just today I have heard about a Beagle which was being exercised on a long line in a wood, when he slipped his harness and disapeared following a track. (It's a Beagle thing!). The owner was still searching and calling for him, when she received a message from a farmer 3 miles away, who had spotted that he was wearing a smartphone scannable tag, which links to display of owner and veterinary details.
A product that can reunite a dog and owner so quickly must be worth considering.
