What is a QR code for phone numbers?

A QR code for phone numbers is a scannable barcode that encodes a telephone number in a standardized format. When scanned with a smartphone camera, it automatically prompts the user to call the number without manual entry. This eliminates typing errors and makes it easy to share contact information on business cards, flyers, or digital displays.
