Ideas

Ways to use an SMS QR code

Text-to-join campaigns

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the message send automatically?

No. Scanning opens the messages app with everything filled in; the person decides whether to send it.

Which phones support SMS QR codes?

The built-in cameras on iPhone and Android open SMS QR codes in the default messages app.

Is there a character limit?

Keep it to 160 characters so it fits in one SMS. Shorter content also makes the code less dense and easier to scan.

Can I edit the message later?

No. SMS QR codes are static. Create a new one if the number or message changes.
