1. A near-field communication device, comprising:
a memory circuit configured to store, in an ASCII format, a message to be transmitted to a reader device;
wherein said message stored in the memory circuit includes a dynamic message portion in ASCII format and a static message portion in ASCII format;
a counter circuit that is configured to increment in ASCII, in response to each instance where said reader device accesses the message, to generate a count value;
wherein said count value is output from said counter circuit in the ASCII format; and
a transceiver configured to receive the message in ASCII format and further receive the count value in ASCII format from the counter circuit, said transceiver further configured to radio frequency transmit an ASCII formatted message including the message and the count value by near-field communications techniques.
