What is an SMS QR Code?
An SMS QR code opens the phone’s default texting app with the recipient number and message body prefilled, so users can send in a tap. It’s perfect for quick actions like bookings, support, confirmations, and promo responses.
How SMS QR Codes work
QRUpp encodes a standard sms: link with your phone number and message text. When scanned, the device launches the SMS app (Messages, Android Messages, etc.) with those fields ready to send.
