What is a SMS QR code?

An SMS QR code holds a phone number and a message. Scanning it opens the phone's messaging app with both filled in. It works without an internet connection on the phone, which makes it useful where mobile data is weak.

Popular uses

Text-to-join lists and keyword campaigns
Votes, polls and competitions
Appointment confirmations
Parking and service requests
Places with poor mobile data

Tips for a code that scans

Use a short keyword as the message, such as JOIN or INFO.
Write the number with the country code.
Remember the sender pays their normal text-message rate.
