SMS QR Code Generator — Free Text Message QR

An SMS QR code lets people scan and instantly open a text message to your number. Optionally include a pre-filled message. Perfect for customer support, sales inquiries, and quick communication.

How SMS QR Codes Work

SMS QR codes use the standard SMS URI scheme:

smsto:+1234567890:Your message here

When someone scans:

• iPhone: Opens Messages app with your number and pre-filled message
• Android: Opens default SMS app with number and message pre-filled

One tap to send. No typing required.

SMS QR Code Use Cases

Customer Support

Put SMS QR codes on product packaging, receipts, or support pages. Customers scan to message you directly with questions or issues.

Real Estate

Include on yard signs and flyers. Potential buyers scan to text you inquiries about properties.

Restaurants

Table tents can have QR codes for reservations or feedback. "Text us for reservations" or "Scan to rate your meal."

Event RSVPs

Wedding or event invitations can include an RSVP QR code. Guests scan to text their response.

Direct Sales

Business cards, flyers, and promotional materials can include an SMS QR. "Scan to inquire" or "Text for a quote."

Delivery Notifications

Couriers and delivery businesses can use SMS QR codes for customers to text about deliveries.

Pre-filled Messages

You can include a default message that populates when they scan. Examples:

• "Hi, I'm interested in learning more"
• "I'd like to schedule an appointment"
• "RSVP: [Name] will attend"
• "Question about: [Product Name]"

This reduces friction — users just hit send rather than typing a message.

International Numbers

Always include the country code for international reach:

• US/Canada: +1 (555) 123-4567
• UK: +44 20 7946 0958
• Include + before the country code for best compatibility

Static vs Dynamic SMS QR Codes

This generator creates a static QR code — the phone number and message are encoded directly. If your number changes, generate a new QR code.

For dynamic SMS QR codes with analytics (track who scans, change number anytime without reprinting), try QRPro.

Best Practices

• Always include country code — Ensures it works for international visitors
• Keep pre-filled message short — Long messages may be truncated
• Label the QR code — "Scan to Text Us" or "Text for Info"
• Test on both platforms — Verify iPhone and Android both handle it correctly
