9 QR Code Data Types

1. Contact information

QR codes can contain contact information so someone can easily scan a QR code, view your contact details, and add you on their phone. You can input your name, phone number, e-mail, address, website, memo, and more.

2. Calendar event

If you have an event you want to promote, you can create a QR code containing info for that event. QR codes containing event info can contain event title, start and end date/time, time zone, location, and description. This could work well on an event flyer or possibly even on a website promoting.

3. E-mail address

Nice and simply QR code can contain your e-mail address so someone can scan the code, see your e-mail, and then open an e-mail on their phones.

4. Phone number

Maybe e-mail isn't immediate enough and you want someone to call. Link them up to a phone number.

5. Geo location.

If you have an event you want to promote, you might want to stick a QR code linking someone to a Google Maps location. This will allow someone to scan your QR code and get directions so they don't have to manually type in an address.

6. SMS

QR codes can populate a text message with a number and message.

7. Text

You can also just have a sentence or a paragraph of text. This could be fun for having some type of QR code based game where you can leave hints in QR codes.

8. Wifi network

Do you hate telling someone a long WEP wireless key that's a pain to type out on a mobile phone? Set it up so someone can scan a QR code and automatically configure wifi on their phones.

9. URL

Don't think little of this 3-letter data type. This is where the possibilities become endless. You can use a link that takes someone to your Facebook fan page or Twitter profile. You can also link someone to a YouTube video. Or maybe you want someone to pay for something via PayPal.
