Why use an SMS QR code?

An SMS QR code removes every point of friction between seeing your call-to-action and texting you. Instead of asking people to remember a number and type a keyword, they scan once and their messaging app opens with everything pre-filled — the destination number and a suggested message.

Marketers use SMS QR codes for opt-in campaigns ("Scan to text JOIN and get 10% off"), restaurants for feedback, real-estate agents for property enquiries, event organisers for RSVP, and support teams so customers can reach them without dialling. Because the message text is suggested, response rates and keyword accuracy both go up.

The code uses the standard SMSTO: format, natively recognised by the iPhone camera app (iOS 11+) and the Android camera app — no dedicated scanning app required. For privacy and safety, scanning never sends anything automatically: the person always taps send themselves.

Frequently asked questions

What is an SMS QR code?
An SMS QR code encodes a phone number and an optional pre-written message. When someone scans it, their phone opens the messaging app with the number and text already filled in — they just tap send.
Does the SMS QR code send the message automatically?
No. For safety, the QR code only opens the messaging app with the recipient number and message pre-filled. The person still taps send, so they stay in control of what leaves their phone.
Does the SMS QR code expire?
No. QRLifetime generates static QR codes encoded directly into the image. They work forever, even offline, with no subscription required.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The SMS QR format (SMSTO:) is supported by the native camera app on iPhone (iOS 11+) and Android. No special app is needed to scan it.
