QR to SMS

Create QR codes for contacts to scan and text you.

When a contact scans your QR code, their phone automatically creates a new text message with the provided phone number and prefilled message you assigned to the QR code. All they have to do is hit send!

Create a QR to SMS code:

1. Go to QR Code Generator.

2. Select Text.

3. Enter your text in the following format: SMSTO:number:text

4. Replace number with the phone number you want users to send to and text with the actual message you want them to send.

Other types of prefilled SMS QR codes can be found here. 

5. Click Download JPG (or other file type).

Note: You may need to create a free account to complete the download process. 

 

QR to SMS works great with our Keywords feature. Create a keyword in Text Request, then use that keyword for the message section of your QR code. Contacts can easily subscribe or text in. 

 

There are plenty of other free generators if you want to use something else, but we used QR Code Generator for this example. The free version is easy to use and they offer a paid version with more customization and options if you need it.
