Vehicle wraps and fleet signage
A QR on the side of a delivery van or service truck. Someone sees the vehicle, wants a quote, scans while it is parked. Your number gets called instead of lost to memory.
Phone QR codes
Scan to call. No number to type.
Encode a phone number in a QR and put it anywhere you want a call. Business cards, storefront glass, vehicle wraps, print ads: scan, confirm, call. Three seconds from QR to dial tone.
Free. No credit card. Works on iOS and Android.
What a phone QR code does
A phone QR code encodes a tel: URI containing your number. When someone scans it, their phone prompts "Call (555) 123-4567?" with Cancel and Call buttons. One tap starts the call. Nobody types the number, so nobody misses a digit or transposes a 6 and an 8. Works for any number: local, toll-free, international, extensions included.
Where people use them
Storefront and window signage
After-hours callers see the QR in the window. No squinting at printed numbers under streetlight. Scan, call, leave a voicemail. Done.
Business cards
The QR on the back is faster than the number on the front. Especially useful at events where the contact ends up in a pocket, not a contacts app.
Emergency contacts and safety signage
Facility emergency numbers, first-aid station contacts, building management lines. A QR on the wall is faster to use under stress than reading and dialing a posted number.
How it works
-

Enter your phone number
Any number works: local, toll-free, international with country code, or a number with extension. Include the country code for print that might be scanned internationally.

Customize the look
Add your logo, pick colors, choose a frame label ("CALL US" works well). Or ship the default. Either way it scans from across a room.

FAQ
Does the phone dial immediately or prompt first?
It prompts first. Both iOS and Android show a confirmation dialog ("Call [number]?") before dialing. This is the operating system's default behavior; you cannot bypass it, and you would not want to. Users need to confirm before a call is placed.
Can I encode a number with an extension?
Yes. Use the pause character in the tel: URI (p for a 2-second pause, or w to wait for user input). Most phone systems handle these correctly. Test with your specific phone system before printing at scale.
Can I change the phone number after printing?
No. Phone QR codes are static: the tel: URI is encoded directly in the QR. If the number changes, generate a new QR and replace the printed version. If you need an updatable number, a URL QR pointing to a page with your current contact details is the better choice.
Does it work for toll-free numbers?
Yes. 800, 888, 877, and other toll-free prefixes work the same as standard numbers. Include the full number with country code for clarity.
Is there a free tier for phone QR codes?
Yes. Phone codes are free, with no expiration. Sign in to save and manage multiple codes. Pro adds more codes and dynamic types for $9 per month.
