# What is an SMS QR Code?

An SMS QR code is a type of QR code that contains a pre-composed text message and allows users to easily send a text message by scanning the QR code using a smartphone or QR code scanner. QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can be scanned to access information or perform an action, such as sending a text message.

SMS QR codes are created by encoding the pre-composed text message into the QR code using a QR code generator tool or software. The resulting QR code can be printed or displayed on a screen, and then scanned by a user to automatically open the SMS app on their smartphone with the pre-composed message filled in.

SMS QR codes can be used in a variety of applications, such as providing a quick and convenient way for customers to contact a business, sharing emergency contact information, or promoting a marketing campaign.

One advantage of SMS QR codes is that they provide a simple and easy-to-use way for users to initiate a text message without having to manually enter the phone number or compose the message.

In summary, an SMS QR code is a type of QR code that encodes a pre-composed text message and can be scanned using a smartphone or QR code scanner to automatically open the SMS app with the message filled in. They are a convenient tool for enabling users to quickly and easily send text messages in a variety of applications.
