qrcode Have you seen one of these codes before?  They’re called QR Codes and can be used on mobile phones to direct your browser to a specific web page or even display more information (4,000 characters) about a product or event.  They can also be used to dial phone numbers and send SMS messages too!

Some mobile phones ship with pre-installed QR Code readers on them but more often than not, you will need to go into your phone’s AppStore and download one for your device.  Once your your scanner is loaded – point it at this code – I DOUBLE DOG DARE YA!

This code was generated to call a phone number associated with the following Tropo script:

say "http://hosting.tropo.com/13539/www/audio/rickroll.wav"
say "http://the-ppole.com/audio/Hotlinkers.mp3"

This Tropo script is running on our Scripting API and basically announces that you are about to be “Rick Rolled” and then proceeds to play to famous Rick Astley song “Never Gonna Give You Up” from some random MP3 link on the Internet.  Imagine the fun that you could have with combining QR Codes with Tropo numbers to route mobile phones to your new killer Tropo application!

I used a QR Code generator from Kaywa to create the image you see above.  Here’s an example of how easy it is to create:

Have Fun!
