SMS QR Code Generator – Pre-filled Text Message
An SMS QR code opens the messaging app with your number in the “To” field and your message already typed. It suits competitions, opt-ins, quick enquiries and anything where a text is faster than a web form.
UAE numbers work in local or international format, for example 050 123 4567 or +971 50 123 4567.
How to create a SMS QR code
- Choose SMS in the generator.
- Enter the phone number and the message you want pre-filled.
- Style the code and download it.
- Test on iPhone and Android, because the two handle SMS links slightly differently.
Where SMS QR codes work well
- Competitions and giveaways with a keyword to text.
- Appointment requests for clinics and salons.
- Delivery and driver contact on packaging.
- Alerts sign-up in shops and gyms.
Tips for a QR code that scans first time
- Put the keyword at the start of the message so your team can sort replies.
- Tell people what happens after they send the text.
- For most UAE customers WhatsApp is the more popular channel; see the WhatsApp QR code.
