Number and message inside an SMS QR
SMS QR codes work best for keywords, check-in codes, and short replies sent from a phone.
Message
Prefill a keyword, check-in code, or short reply as the SMS body.
Symbol and size
SMS payloads work best with short messages because long text increases QR density.
A QR code that opens the SMS composer
The generated symbol includes phone number and message so users can review before sending.
- Encodes phone number and body text as an SMS URI QR code.
- Fits keyword replies, reservation confirmations, and check-in phrases.

How to create an SMS QR
- 1 Enter the destination number with country code or use a consistent domestic notation.
- 2 Keep the message body to a short keyword, confirmation phrase, or reference number.
- 3 Generate and test it on iPhone and Android messaging apps.
- 4 State clearly that scanning prepares an SMS because carrier fees may apply.
- 5 For campaigns, keep the keyword short to avoid spelling variants.
Inside the smsto payload
The phone number and body are assembled into an SMS payload and encoded into the QR code.
Schema: `smsto:<phone>:<message>` Note: Message-body handling varies by OS/app, so scan-test before publishing.
Make short replies easier to send
SMS QR codes are strongest when the message is concise and immediately understandable.
SMS QR is strongest for fixed short replies
The less typing required, the better. Keywords, check-in codes, and confirmation phrases are good fits.
Phone-number formatting affects confidence
If the visible number and SMS recipient look different, users hesitate. Show a matching label or number nearby.
Design the receiving workflow, not only the QR code
High response volume needs routing, auto-replies, and reference matching on the receiving side.
SMS QR code FAQ
Does scanning send the SMS automatically?
No. It opens the messaging app and the user sends after review.
Will iPhone and Android prefill the body the same way?
Behavior can differ by OS and messaging app, so test the target devices.
Should I include a country code?
E.164 format is safer for international or mixed-device use. Keep notation consistent even for domestic flows.
Can I include a long SMS body?
Long text may split, encode unexpectedly, or increase cost. Use short keywords or concise instructions.
Can this be used for campaigns?
Yes, but disclose terms, charges, privacy handling, and how responses are processed.
