A QR (“quick response”) code is a square barcode that makes getting URLs, location coordinates, any text or contact information onto a phone fast. With a barcode scanner app installed, you just point your phone’s camera at the code to read its contents.
If you have a Nokia phone, a good place to start learning more is at mobilecodes.nokia.com/scan.htm.

The Kaywa QR code generator was one of the first available on the web, and is still very good. It can embed a URL, text, a phone number, or an addressed and ready-to-send SMS message into a QR code. Once you have the QR code, you can display it on a web site, your business cards, the side of a building, in fact anywhere !!
