Phone QR Code
Generate phone number QR codes
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a QR code for a phone number?
Enter the phone number with country code (e.g., +1-555-123-4567). The tool generates a QR code using the tel: URI scheme. When scanned, it opens the phone dialer with the number pre-filled, ready to call with one tap.
Should I include the country code in a phone QR code?
Yes, always include the full international format: +[country code][number]. +1 for US/Canada, +44 for UK, +61 for Australia. This ensures the QR code works when scanned from any country. The tool formats the number correctly.
Where should I use phone number QR codes?
Business cards (call me). Restaurant menus (order by phone). Service vehicles (call for quote). Emergency contacts. Customer support signage. They eliminate dialing errors and make it instant to call from a mobile device.
Can I create a QR code that sends an SMS instead of calling?
Yes, use the SMS QR code tool instead. It uses the sms: URI scheme. You can pre-fill the recipient number and message body. The phone QR code tool specifically creates call-only codes using the tel: protocol.
Do phone QR codes work on all smartphones?
Yes. The tel: URI is universally supported on iOS, Android, and other mobile platforms. Scanning opens the native phone dialer. On tablets without phone capability, it may offer to copy the number or use a VoIP app instead.
