Frequently asked questions
- What does an SMS QR code do?
- When scanned, it opens a new text message addressed to your number with your message pre-filled. The person can edit it and then send — nothing is sent automatically.
- Why use a pre-filled SMS?
- It is great for opt-in keywords, feedback, contest entries and support. People scan, the message is ready, and you receive a consistent, structured text.
- Does the message send by itself?
- No. The sender always reviews and taps send. This is a privacy and anti-spam protection built into phones.
- Will it work on every phone?
- It uses the widely supported SMSTO format that iPhone and Android read from the camera. On a few older apps the message text may not pre-fill, but the number always will.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The code is built in your browser; your number and message never touch a server.
