A Quick Response (QR) code is a two-dimensional code that can be scanned by smartphone cameras to automatically pull up text, phone numbers, SMS messages, and URLs (which can be linked to web pages, photos, videos, music, and more).
AT&T recently released a free Code Scanner application and its Create-a-Code service. The application can scans both 2D (QR and datamatrix) and 1D (UPC and EAN) bar codes. It works similarly to other barcode scanning apps, just focus the camera on the code and the application will scan it automatically. The Create-a-Code service allows you to create codes to share contact information and web page URLs.
