Frequently asked questions
- Does the person scanning pay for the message?
- The message is sent from their phone, so their carrier rates apply. For premium service numbers, state the cost next to the code.
- Can the pre-written message be edited?
- Yes. The person always sees the text and can change it before pressing send.
- Should I use a local or international number format?
- Use the international format so the code works even when the person scanning is roaming on a foreign SIM.
