QR link to SMS marketing?

NameThatCandy · 29th Sep 2011, 12:48 PM

Hi there,

I know QR code can link to SMS, but I just don't understand how it works.

I plan to do SMS marketing, instead of asking people to text "Free Drink" to 12345, can they just scan the QR code? and they don't need to type "Free Drink".

I saw QR-Code Generator can generate for sms.
what is Nr?

Thanks

Waiyi

they just scan the code with the phone,then the phone interpret it and creates a sms so they just click to send it
nr= it's the number you want to send the message, short code, long code or whatever

Just be careful when doing this. From my experience, not every QR Code reader will populate the text with your KEYWORD. I test with 5 different readers on my iPhone, and only two of them actually pick up both the short code and the keyword. The other three only pick up the short code.

NR=number

thanks for the replies. Now I got the idea. I think I am better off let them text it and scan it.
