Everything a printed code should be able to do
Once a code is on a menu, a box, or a billboard, reprinting is the expensive part. Dynamic links move the decisions into your account instead.
Per-scan analytics
ProEvery scan recorded with approximate city, device, OS, and time, exportable to CSV. Free plans keep aggregate counts by day, device, and country.
Repoint any time
FreeChange where a printed code goes in seconds. 3 links free with unlimited scans; unlimited links on Pro.
Your domain on the code
ProScanners see your name, not ours, with custom endings you choose instead of a random slug.
A file behind the code
ProHost a PDF or image at the code itself and swap the file without reprinting. Menus, spec sheets, price lists.

How a phone QR code works
A phone QR code encodes a tel: link. Scanning it brings up the number with a call prompt: one tap and the phone is dialing, with no digits to mistype. The phone always shows the number and asks first; nothing dials automatically.
It's the simplest QR type there is, and it earns its keep anywhere someone might want to call you the moment they see your sign: service stickers on furnaces and water heaters, storefront hours signs ("call for appointments"), fleet vehicle decals, real-estate signs, business cards, and emergency-contact labels on equipment.
Formatting the number
Use international format (+1 555 010 0000) so the code dials correctly for anyone, from anywhere; local formats can fail for visitors and travelers. Reticle strips spaces, dashes, and parentheses automatically, so paste the number however you have it. Landline, mobile, toll-free. Any dialable number works.
Small codes, big prints
A phone number is one of the least dense payloads a QR code can carry, which means phone codes stay crisp even printed small, a real advantage on business cards and stickers. Standard print advice still applies: strong contrast, a margin of empty space, and error correction Q or H for anything that lives outdoors or gets handled. If you want to share more than a number (name, company, email), use a vCard QR code instead.
Frequently asked questions
Does scanning dial the number automatically?
No. The phone shows the number with a call prompt and the person taps to dial; every platform requires that confirmation.
Should I use the international number format?
Yes. A number with a country code (+1 555 010 0000) dials correctly for everyone, including visitors from abroad. Local formats can break for anyone outside your country.
Do landlines and toll-free numbers work?
Yes, any dialable number works. The code just tells the phone what to dial; the phone network does the rest.
Can I include my name and company too?
Not in a tel: code; it carries only the number. If you want a scannable full contact (name, company, email, website), use the vCard QR type instead.
Why do phone QR codes scan so easily?
A phone number is a tiny payload, so the code has large, coarse modules that cameras read quickly even at small print sizes, one reason they work so well on business cards and stickers.
