Frequently asked questions
Does it work without internet on the scanner?
SMS itself doesn't need internet — the QR just opens the Messages app. The scanner needs SMS/cellular, not data.
Can I pre-fill the SMS body?
Yes — set a default message (e.g. "BOOK appointment") so scanners just tap Send.
Can I use it with an SMS shortcode?
Yes — enter the shortcode as the phone number (e.g. 12345). It works the same way.
Can I change the number after printing?
Yes — update the number from your dashboard. All printed QRs immediately route to the new number.
Which messaging apps does it open?
The default SMS app on the device — Apple Messages on iPhone, Google Messages on Android, or whatever the user has set as default.
