Tips for a SMS QR code that scans every time
Include the country code
Use the full number (for example +1 for the US) so it works from any phone.
Use a keyword
"JOIN" or "WIN" makes replies easy to filter.
Mention carrier rates
For marketing campaigns, note that standard message rates may apply.

Questions
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark and no expiry. The code stores your content directly, so it keeps working forever — even without QRLivo.
Can I change where the QR code points after printing?
Not with a free static code — its content is fixed once printed. If you want to edit things later, see statistics or add photos and links, create a QRLivo page: its QR code never changes while you update the page as often as you like.
