Static vs Dynamic SMS QR codes
Every code above is static - free forever, number fixed at creation. Change the number without reprinting, and you'll need a dynamic one.
Static
- Free forever, no signup
- Number is fixed once printed
- Good for a number that won't change
- Lifetime scan count only
Dynamic
- Update the number anytime
- Same printed code, new destination
- Good for staff/support lines that change
- Full scan analytics
Frequently Asked Questions
How does an SMS QR code work?
It encodes your phone number and, optionally, a pre-filled message. Scanning it opens the phone's native texting app with those filled in - no WhatsApp or any other app required.
Does the recipient need a specific app installed?
No. It opens the phone's default SMS app over the regular cellular network, something every phone already has.
How is this different from a WhatsApp QR code?
An SMS QR code opens the native texting app over cellular; a WhatsApp QR code opens WhatsApp specifically. Use SMS when you can't assume the person has WhatsApp installed.
Will this SMS QR code expire?
No. A static SMS QR code works permanently. If you need to change the number later without reprinting, upgrade to a dynamic QR code after signing up.
Is this free?
Yes, generating a static SMS QR code requires no signup and no payment.
