Well, if you happen to have a suitable camera phone with barcode reader software you can.
So what's the point? Well, imagine you see a poster or an advert while you're out and about, it takes your interest, but you have neither time nor pen to take down the details. Just scan the code into your phone and you, almost instantly, receive text, a URL, a phone number or an offer code to save and look at later.
Little used in the UK outside of supply chain management at the moment (you regularly see them on envelopes) but surely as compatible handsets become standard the promotional and informational use will increase.
QR Codes. Just for supply chain management or a promotional and communications tool for the future?
If you see any good applications of these let us know, or even better if you can think of a cool use yourself.
