I'm afraid JKR has said that this can't be the case. Taking this 
from JKR's webiste, rumour section:

"The Order of the Phoenix communicates using chocolate frog cards

"This is such a great idea that I was in two minds whether to shoot 
it down; however, *a chocolate frog card, or any object that would 
have to be remembered and carried on the person, would always be 
vulnerable to loss, destruction or trickery*. The Order communicates 
in a way that requires *nothing but a wand*. You saw the Order's 
method of communication in use even before you knew about the 
existence of the Order; it was employed by an Order member."
