Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the SMS QR Code work?
When scanned by a smartphone, this QR code utilizes the 'smsto:' URL scheme. It automatically opens the device's default texting app (like iMessage on iOS or Messages on Android) and prepares a new text message directly to your specified phone number.
2. Do I need to include country codes?
Yes, it is highly recommended to include standard international dialing codes (e.g., '+1' for USA, '+44' for UK) to ensure the message routes correctly, especially if international users scan your code.
3. Are my phone numbers saved anywhere?
No. The safety of your phone numbers is guaranteed. All barcode geometry generation is performed locally rendering on your local browser. No data is stored on our servers.
4. Can I generate a code without a pre-filled message?
Yes, the message body is completely optional. If you just want it to open a blank text addressed to your number, leave the message field empty.
5. Why use an SMS QR over WhatsApp?
SMS relies on the native cellular messaging app which every modern smartphone has built-in without requiring third-party accounts or app downloads. This makes it a universal scanning option for customer inquiries.
