How it works
Enter the phone number you want people to call. Include country code for international numbers (+1 for US, +44 for UK, etc.). The tool creates a tel: link encoded in the QR code.
When scanned, the device recognizes the telephone link and prompts to place a call. Users confirm and the call connects immediately. No need to manually dial.
What happens when scanned:
- Device reads the tel: link from the QR code
- Phone app opens with number pre-dialed
- User sees the number and confirms
- Call connects when user taps call button
The QR code generates instantly. Preview shows the encoded number. Download for business cards, advertisements, or customer service materials.

What to Know Before Using
Call confirmation is required.Modern phones always ask before placing calls. This prevents accidental calls from rogue QR codes. Users must confirm before connecting.
Data connection not required.Phone calls use cellular voice network, not data. QR codes work even in areas without internet. Only cellular signal is needed.
International calls may incur charges.Scanners calling international numbers pay roaming or international rates. Consider local numbers for different regions.
Tablets and WiFi-only devices can't call.iPads and WiFi tablets may open FaceTime Audio or do nothing. The QR code works best on cellular-enabled phones.
Pro tip: Add context near the QR code. "Scan to call our sales team" or "Emergency contact - scan to call" helps users understand what will happen.
Common Questions
Will this work on all phones?
Yes, tel: links are universally supported. Any smartphone with a camera and phone capability will recognize and handle these QR codes.
Can I track calls from the QR code?
Not directly. Use a dedicated tracking number (like Google Voice or call tracking services) to measure QR code call volume.
What about toll-free numbers?
Toll-free numbers work perfectly. Include the full number with country code. Callers won't be charged for scanning and calling.
Can I change the number later?
No, the number is encoded in the QR pattern. Changing requires new QR codes everywhere. Plan your number strategy before printing.
Will this work from printed materials?
Yes, printed QR codes work perfectly. Ensure good print quality and sufficient size (at least 1x1 inch) for reliable scanning.
Can I add extension numbers?
Add pauses using commas: +1-555-123-4567,,123. Each comma adds a 2-second pause. Not all phones support this feature reliably.
Should I use this or click-to-call links?
Use both. QR codes for print materials, click-to-call links for digital. Same functionality, different mediums.
