What is an SMS QR code?

An SMS QR code is a scannable barcode that encodes a phone number and optional text message. When scanned with a smartphone camera, it automatically opens the messaging app with the recipient's number and pre-filled message text, eliminating the need to manually type either. This makes it incredibly convenient for marketing campaigns, customer support, event RSVPs, and any situation where you want to make it easy for people to send you a text message.
