What is a phone QR code?
A phone QR code uses the tel: format to store a phone number. When a compatible phone scans it, the device presents a prompt to call that number. This is useful for printed materials where typing a long number is inconvenient and error-prone.

Testing advice
- • Always scan-test on a real phone before printing to confirm the correct number appears.
- • Include the country code so the number works for international scanners.
- • Double-check every digit — a wrong number in a QR code is a costly print mistake.
- • Test on both iPhone and Android, as call prompts may differ slightly.
FAQ
What does a phone QR code do?
A phone QR code stores a phone number using the tel: format. When scanned, it prompts the phone to start a call to that number. The user confirms the call — it does not dial automatically on most devices.
Does scanning automatically call the number?
On most phones, scanning shows a prompt asking the user to confirm before dialing. The exact behavior depends on the phone and scanner app. The code does not silently call without user interaction.
What number format should I use?
Include the country code for international numbers, for example +1 555 123 4567. Digits, spaces, and a leading + are accepted. Non-numeric characters are stripped when the code is generated.
Can I use this for a business landline?
Yes. Any dialable phone number works — landline, mobile, or toll-free. The scanner's phone will attempt to call whatever number you encode.
