When most people think of a QR code, they think:
📱 Scan → Open a website
But a traditional QR code can actually contain information, not just a URL.
For example, a QR code can...
👤 Add a contact — Put contact information directly into someone's phone.
📧 Start an email — Open an email with the address, subject and even a message already filled in.
💬 Start a text — Open a text message to a specific number with a message ready to send.
📞 Make a phone call — Scan and call a specific number.
📶 Connect to Wi-Fi — Join a network without typing the password.
📅 Add a calendar event — Put an event directly onto someone's calendar.
📍 Open a location — Pull up a specific location on their map.
🔗 And yes...open a link.
Quick distinction: I'm talking about traditional QR codes that encode different types of information—not the Logo QR Codes we normally talk about here, which are designed to make a URL-based QR code more branded and noticeable.
