James	Best Answer IDAutomation offers free online generators for some of these purposes: Contact Information WiFi Access Website GS1 Data As technology advances, more and more operating systems are incorporating barcode scanning functionality. This answer is not specific to any operating system (mobile, desktop, or server), but instead focuses on the encoding of information in QR Code to provide the user with the convenience it affords.

Wireless Network Information: WIFI:T:[WEP, WPA (for WPA/WPA2), no T element for open network];S:SSID (name of network);P:Password;; Examples: · WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetwork;P:MyPassword;; · WIFI:T:WEP;S:MyNetwork;P:MyPassword;; 2. SMS/MMS Message: SMS:SMSTO:[telephone number with or without dashes]:[message to send] Examples: · SMS:SMSTO:8135142564:IDAutomation - Your Source for Quality Symbology · SMS:SMSTO:1-813-514-2564:IDAutomation - Your Source for Quality Symbology 3. Phone Number (by itself, used for direct dialing or as a contact): TEL:[telephone number with or without dashes] Examples: · TEL:8135142564 · TEL:1-813-514-2564 4.
