What a SMS QR code is for

  • Counters and work sites

    A message with the incident reference pre-written saves explanations and avoids copy errors.

  • Weak-signal areas

    A text goes out on one bar of signal, where a web page never even starts loading.

  • Text-to-join lists

    Services that sign you up by texting a word to a number pair naturally with this code type.

  • No apps required

    Messaging comes on every phone: nothing to install, no account anywhere.

The number and the text live inside the code

The code stores the number and the message. On scan, the phone opens the messaging app with everything filled in, and sending is up to the person.

Since nothing passes through any server, there is no scan count and no way to change the number after printing.

SMS QR code questions

Does the message send itself?

No. The conversation opens with the text written and the person presses send. No phone sends without confirmation.

How do I write the number?

With the country code in front, so it also works from foreign phones.

Can I leave the message empty?

Yes. The conversation opens with the number set and the text free.

These questions do not depend on the code type, and they are worth reading before sending anything to print: what size to print a QR code at , why a heavily customised code stops scanning and how static and dynamic codes differ .
