What is a Phone QR code?
A phone QR code stores a telephone number. Scanning it opens the dialer with the number ready, so the person can call in one tap without typing it.
It removes the friction of copying a number by hand and is ideal anywhere you want to make calling easy, from posters and vehicles to business cards and shop windows.
