SMS QR code
What is a SMS QR code?
An SMS QR code opens the messaging app with your number and a pre-written text ready to send. It's the easiest way to run text-to-join campaigns, voting, contests and quick requests, with no typing for the customer.
Popular ways to use it
Text-to-join
Grow an SMS list by letting people text a keyword like JOIN or VIP.
Contests & votes
Collect entries or votes at events and on packaging.
Appointments
Let clients text “BOOK” to request a time slot.
Service requests
Facilities and rentals: tenants report issues with a pre-filled text.
Tips for a QR code that always scans
- Use a short, clear keyword in the message so replies are easy to sort.
- Mention what happens next in the frame label, like “Text to join”.
- Make sure the receiving number can actually handle incoming texts.
SMS QR code FAQ
Is the text message sent automatically?

Does it work on iPhone and Android?
