What are mobile codes?
'Mobile codes' are codes in the same way as ordinary barcodes are, but their matrix structure can hold more information. The codes are also mobile in the sense that you can use the camera on your mobile device to scan and decode them.

You can convert a web address (URL), a phone number, an email address or plain text into a mobile code. After scanning it with your camera phone, you will have instant access to the encoded information straight on the display of your mobile device.

Mobile codes are increasing in popularity. You can find them these days pretty much anywhere: as tags on flyers and posters; on business cards and CVs; in magazines and blogs; offline and online. They are a great way of sharing information with friends and communicating your message to strangers in a fun way.

What are 2D codes?
'Mobile codes' are in fact 2D codes, two-dimensional codes that can hold much more data than ordinary barcodes - linear 1D codes - due to their matrix structure.

What can I do with mobile codes?
The simplest answer would be - whatever you want. The possibilities are endless.

You can encode your mobile site address and put it on your blog page or website for easy access. Or you can create a mobile code with your phone number or email address and print it on the back of your business card.

Whatever it is, mobile codes make accessing information with a mobile device a one-click matter.
