Create a Phone Call QR Code
Create a QR code that lets people call you instantly by scanning. Perfect for business cards, posters, and customer service materials.
Common Uses
How to Use
Enter the phone number with the country code (e.g., +44 for UK). When scanned, the user will be prompted to call the number.
How tel: links behave
A phone QR code encodes a tel: link. On a mobile it opens the dialler with the number filled in; on a desktop browser it usually offers to hand off to an app or an equivalent service.
Write the number in full international format (+44) so it dials correctly from abroad. If you want the call to work for overseas visitors, that is not optional.
Where a call code makes sense
- Support lines on packaging — no number to misread or mistype.
- Parking and site signage — drivers call the right department first time.
- For sale boards — a call without copying digits from a moving car.
- Menus, brochures and invoices — order or query in one tap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this charge the caller?
Yes, standard call rates apply. The QR code only opens the phone dialler; it does not place the call automatically on most devices.
Do I need the country code?
It is recommended to include the country code (e.g., +44 for UK) so the call works for international and local scanners alike.
Does a phone QR code work on a desktop computer?
It usually opens whatever calling app is registered on that machine, which on a work computer may be nothing at all. Print the number as text underneath so desktop users are not stranded.
Can I encode an extension number?
Most phones will dial the main number and ignore an extension, so an extension is best mentioned in the text next to the code rather than encoded inside it.
