Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SMS QR code?
An SMS QR code opens the device's native messaging app with a phone number pre-filled. You can also include a pre-written message body so the user only needs to tap Send.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The smsto: URI scheme is supported by the native Messages app on both iOS and Android, and most third-party SMS apps.
Can I pre-fill the message body?
Yes. You can add a default message when creating the QR code. The user can edit the message before sending, so the pre-fill acts as a helpful template.
Is there a character limit on the message?
Standard SMS messages are limited to 160 characters per segment by the network. You can pre-fill longer text but users may be charged for multi-part messages depending on their carrier.
Is an SMS QR code static or dynamic?
Static. The phone number and optional message body are encoded directly in the QR code. To change the destination number or message, regenerate the code.
