Frequently asked questions
What happens when somebody scans an SMS code?
Their messaging app opens with your number and the draft text already there, and they choose whether to send. The scan never sends anything by itself, which matters when the code is printed where anybody can scan it.
Can I use this to collect RSVPs at an event?
Yes, and it is the fastest option for a printed sign: a prefilled word such as YES or a name field saves the typing that stops people replying at all. Put a short instruction above the code so a scan is obviously wanted.
Does the country code matter?
It does for international guests. Enter the number in full international format so a phone from another country can route the message, which is also what the prefilled draft will show. The whole operation runs inside your browser tab; the file is never uploaded, so nothing is stored or logged.
