Question 1

How does a phone QR code work?

Accepted Answer

The QR code encodes a tel: URI with your phone number. When scanned, the user's phone prompts them to dial the number immediately — no manual entry needed.

Question 2

Will the call start automatically?

Accepted Answer

On most devices the phone app opens with the number pre-filled and the user taps 'Call' to confirm. This prevents accidental calls while still making dialing effortless.

Question 3

What phone number format should I use?

Accepted Answer

Use the international format with country code (e.g., +1 555 123 4567) to ensure the QR code works globally. The generator handles formatting automatically.

Question 4

Can I track how many people call?

Accepted Answer

A static phone QR code doesn't include tracking. With a reRoute Pro dynamic link you can wrap the call action behind a tracked shortlink and see scan analytics.

Question 5

Where should I put a phone QR code?

Accepted Answer

Business cards, store windows, product packaging, vehicle wraps, conference banners, and customer service desks are all great placements.
