Overview

What is an SMS QR code?

An SMS QR code contains a phone number and an optional message in the standard SMSTO format. When someone scans it, the phone opens its messaging app with the number and text filled in. They only need to tap Send. It is the simplest way to collect opt-ins, orders, votes, feedback or support requests by text message.

Because sending is always confirmed by the person, it works well for keyword campaigns such as “Text JOIN to receive offers”. The number and message are stored in the code itself, so it works offline and never expires. For campaigns where the number may change, create a dynamic code.

Use cases

Ideas for text-message codes

Anywhere a quick text is the easiest reply.

SMS marketing opt-ins

Pre-fill “JOIN” so customers subscribe to offers with one tap.

Orders and reservations

Let customers text “Table for 2 tonight” or “Order #1” from a flyer.

Event votes and RSVPs

Collect votes or confirmations by text during events.

Support and repairs

Pre-fill a model or job number so support knows what you need.

Property and parking

Visitors text the manager about a space, a delivery or a problem.

Fundraising

Text-to-give and volunteer sign-ups start with a pre-written message.

Best practices

Tips for SMS codes

Keep it short, clear and compliant.

  • Keep the message short

    Short messages make simpler codes and are easier for people to check before sending.

  • Follow opt-in rules

    For marketing texts, follow local consent rules and explain how to opt out, such as replying STOP.

  • Use the international format

    A + and country code make the number work from any phone and any country.

  • Say what happens next

    A caption like “Scan to text us your order” sets expectations.

  • Print the number as well

    Show the number in text next to the code so people without a camera app, or with an older phone, can still type it.

  • Consider WhatsApp

    In many countries people prefer WhatsApp to SMS. A WhatsApp code may get more replies.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I create an SMS QR code?

Choose SMS in the generator above, enter the number and an optional message, and download your SMS QR code. It is free and needs no account.

Does scanning send the text automatically?

No. The messaging app opens with the text ready, and the person taps Send.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Both open the default messaging app with the number and message filled in.

Can I send a QR code via SMS?

Yes. Download the code as an image and attach it to a text message, or send the link it contains instead.

How do I create QR codes for SMS opt-in?

Enter your marketing number or short code and pre-fill the keyword, such as JOIN. Add your opt-out instructions on the printed material.

Can I use a short code?

Yes. Enter the short code as the number. Short codes only work in the country where they are registered.

Is the SMS QR code free?

Yes. Static codes are free, with no watermark and no expiry. The sender pays their normal text-message rate.

Can I change the number later?

Not in a static code. Use a dynamic code if the number or message might change.

Can I track scans?

Yes, with a dynamic code. Your SMS provider shows how many messages actually arrived.

What is the difference from a WhatsApp code?

An SMS code opens the phone’s text messages; a WhatsApp code opens a WhatsApp chat. Choose the app your audience uses most.

Can I add a logo?

Yes. Pick a message icon or upload your logo in the Logo tab and watch the scan score.

Does it need an internet connection?

No. The code works offline; sending the text needs only mobile network coverage.

Where does an SMS QR code work best?

On printed material for audiences who prefer texting to email: flyers, shop windows, event signs, vehicles and packaging. It suits quick actions like joining a list, booking or asking for a call back.

Can I pre-fill a message in another language?

Yes. Any language works. Characters outside the basic Latin alphabet use more space in a text message, so keep the message even shorter.

How long can the message be?

Keep it under about 160 characters, the length of a single text message, so it sends as one message.
