How to Use

Enter the phone number (hyphens are optional).

Overview

Use on flyers, signs, or cards so people can start a call right away. It reduces the need to copy and type numbers, making your call-to-action simpler.

Capabilities

  • Eliminates manual dialing and reduces missed inquiry conversions.

Use Cases

  • Ideal for signage, flyers, storefront POP, and emergency contact displays.

How It Works

  • Encodes a `tel:` URI and opens call confirmation on supported devices.

Cautions

  • Inconsistent country-code or extension formatting can cause mistakes; standardize notation first.

FAQ

Will it call automatically?

No. A confirmation prompt appears, and the call only starts after the user approves it.

Is the phone number sent to a server?

No. QR creation runs locally in your browser, and your input is not sent externally.

Should I include hyphens?

Either is fine. Many devices can dial with hyphens, but digits-only is a safe default.

Does it support international numbers?

Yes. Using a country code like `+81...` is recommended when sharing internationally.

Can I include an extension?

Extension handling depends on the device and dialer app. For reliability, also show the extension as plain text next to the QR code.

Does it work with landlines too?

Yes. It opens the dialer for both mobile and landline numbers.

What happens if someone scans on a desktop?

It depends on the environment. A calling app may open, or nothing may happen.

The phone app doesn’t open after scanning

Some scanner apps block `tel:` links. Try another scanner app, and also print the number as text as a fallback.
