SMS QR Code Generator — Pre-Populated Text Messages & Opt-Ins

Pre-Populated Text Messaging with an SMS (smsto:) QR Code

Directing customers to send a text keyword or appointment confirmation often fails when users must switch apps and copy numbers. An SMS QR Code uses the smsto:phone:message format to launch the default SMS messenger with your recipient number and pre-written message text ready to send.

SMS Opt-Ins & Appointment Requests

  • SMS Marketing & Contest Opt-Ins: Print "Scan to text WIN to 555-0199" on event posters to drive mobile subscriber list growth.
  • Quick Property Inquiries: Add to real estate yard signs with a pre-filled message like "I am interested in 123 Main St".
  • Customer Support & Service Desks: Give customers a direct SMS channel to ask questions without sitting on hold.

Frequently Asked Questions

What devices can scan and send an SMS from this QR code?
Both iOS and Android smartphones have built-in camera apps that natively support reading SMS QR codes. When scanned, it automatically opens the default messaging app.
Is there a limit to how long the pre-written SMS message can be?
While there isn't a strict technical limit in the QR format itself, it is highly recommended to keep the pre-written message under 160 characters. Longer messages create denser QR codes which can be harder to scan, and may be split into multiple texts by some carriers.
Will scanning the code send the text message automatically?
No, the QR code only pre-fills the phone number and the message text. The user always has to manually press the 'Send' button in their messaging app, giving them full control.
Can I use an international phone number with the country code?
Yes, it is best practice to include the full international country code (e.g., +1 for the US) to ensure the SMS is routed correctly regardless of where the scanner is currently located.
