How to Create a Telephone QR Code

A Telephone QR code encodes a phone number. When scanned, the user's device opens the phone dialer with the number ready to call. It's one of the fastest ways to connect people with your business by phone.

Why Use a Telephone QR Code?

Phone numbers can be long and easy to mistype. A Telephone QR code eliminates that problem entirely — one scan and the number is loaded into the dialer, ready to call. This makes it ideal for any situation where you want to encourage people to call you directly.

On most mobile devices, the user can also choose to save the number to their contacts before calling, giving you a lasting connection with potential customers.
