Frequently asked questions
How do I create an SMS QR code?
Enter the recipient’s mobile number and message, then select Generate QR Code. Scan the code with your phone’s camera and choose its messaging action. On supported devices, the recipient and message are filled in. Check both before sending.
Is Text to Phone free?
Yes. QR generation, copying, printing and PNG downloads are free. Sending the text uses your phone and your normal messaging charges. Long messages and emojis may use multiple SMS segments.
Do I need to enter a mobile number?
Yes. The recipient’s mobile number is required so the QR can prepare the message to the right person. UK numbers can start with 07 or +44. Other countries need an international prefix such as +1 or +33.
Can I use an international number?
Yes, when its mobile-number pattern is recognised. Use + followed by the country code and number. A 00 international prefix is also accepted. Validation checks the numbering format, not whether the number is active or can actually receive SMS.
Can I send the message to someone else?
Yes. Enter their mobile number before generating. The person scanning the QR sends from their own phone after reviewing the draft. No message is sent automatically.
Does the website store phone numbers or messages?
No. Phone validation and QR generation run in your browser using locally hosted libraries. Numbers and messages are not uploaded, saved in a database or automatically written to browser storage. Downloaded QR images, printouts and copied SMS links contain the number and message, so keep them private.
Can I use it with WhatsApp?
The QR is intended for SMS, not direct WhatsApp integration. Copy Message lets you paste the text into WhatsApp or another app.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
The default SMSTO format contains a recipient and message in a QR-reader convention. The SMS format options also offer an iPhone ampersand-body link and an Android standard query-body link. Camera, OS and messaging-app behaviour varies. This version has passed encoding checks, but recipient-and-body pre-filling still needs real iPhone and Android testing. No universal compatibility is claimed.
Do I need to install an app?
No extra app should be needed if your phone’s built-in camera recognises the SMS QR format. Your phone needs a messaging app and a way to send messages.
What if my phone does not prepare the message correctly?
Check the recipient number, open SMS format options and try the matching iPhone or Android alternative, then generate a fresh QR. Shorten dense messages if scanning is difficult. Copy Message is a fallback on the current device. Always check the actual recipient and full text in Messages before sending.
