Is it possible for a cell phone to communicate with an RFID chip?

I'm looking for a low-powered solution to turn a device on/off wirelessly, using a cell phone.

Example: phone sends signal to RFID chip, circuit board switches on. 

It really looks like Bluetooth will take too much battery, as this will be a portable device.

Any suggestions ? 


Question: How to get from Toronto Downtown to Pearson Airport
Answer: You have a number of choices:


Take the TTC. For example, subway to Kipling (west end of line 2, transfer from line 1 at St George), then "rocket" bus line 192 to the airport. It will cost you $3.00. You may not enjoy dealing with your luggage and you may have to change a bit, eg streetcar to subway, change subway at Yonge/Bloor, then subway to bus.
Take the Airport Express. Hurry, because it stops running Oct 31 2014. This bus has power and wifi. If you can get yourself to one of its stops, it will be the most convenient. It costs a little under $30.
Wait until the UP express opens (spring of 2015 they say) and take that instead. Price is said to be "competitive" though with what, I don't know.


You can also take a cab or a limo but they will not be cheap. You can get an idea of fares from the airport site.
