Quick clarification please.
I have been used to sending contact details as an SMS message.
When I click send contact by message I get the option to send as SMS or MMS.
I have tried sending as SMS but receivers either say they get nothing or else an empty vcard.
I am resigned to having to send any contacts as an MMS attachment?
Having played with this extensively this morning I find that sending a contact via SMS either:
-nothing
-blank email
-email with vcard containing my details arrives
Need to send contacts via MMS - this way it sends a vcard which can be imported by the recipient
Hmm... I at least have the same problem but it's on both SMS and MMS. Recognizes the vCard, but unable to open it.
I still occaisionally get problems.
Send a number to a colleague last week by MMS and they couldn't open it. I tried opening my own attachment and it tried opening it as a video!
It seems to be working if I'm sending it to myself, no difference if SMS or MMS. The problem is that I don't have much use of sending contact information to myself.
Those I have been sending vCards to use Nokia phones.

My Nokia never understood my Sony phone either (neither my X1 nor the non-Winmo prior)
Yep, but at least sending vCards to Nokia phones worked with my TYTNII without problems!
Maybe I have to test and try to send vCards HD2 -> TYTNII later today.
Working
Hi guys,
just tried it and for me its working fine.I sent it from my HD2 Leo to my work phone Nokia.
Only problem what I can see is I select only one phone number and nothing else but received also extra information like birthday,anniversary,..
good evening chaps
this may be worth looking at as it solved my problem of sending multiple contacts in one go.
vCard Expert from windows phone marketplace let me save my contacts into a file that i sent as an email attachment. Also tried vCard manager which didn't work very well.
any solution yet? phones from 10 years ago can do this easily.
i don't know the matter with sending 'phone' contacts, but you can send the numbers stored on your sim card by SMS.. the recepient will get the sms saying that a contact no. has been sent (no phone number is displayed), but when the recipient presses the accept button, the contact no. gets saved into the list of the recipient's contacts.
but then you know, sim contacts have only the phone no, cant store much detail on sim.

No, at least I haven't got any solution for the problem.
In my opinion it should be simple feature that should be working all around, but apparently not...

reposting this because the original thread was truncated,
this program will send contact mobile number info thru SMS.
i will be releasing it soon.
Are you trying to say that this can send a vcard (more or less standard way of putting contacts-info in one file, can be read by ie. Nokia phones) via sms just like it allready works with BT?
Should be a Contacts-add-on instead of an extra piece of software.
@edsub
there is already a plugin that can do that but the problem is, its not compatible sending vcard to some of the phones (nokia,moto..etc)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13545
my application will send the mobile number info with some short note using SMS so the nokia phones or any other type of phone that can send/recieve sms can have it. Ive got Tired of cut&pasting contact info and sending it.
No offense, but next to the fact I think your app really is very useful (for me too!!) I still think it should be a plugin for the contacts app. Can you make the app to behave like a plugin (or am I asking something weird now)?

Wow! This is great Pare!
In relation to this, shall we also expect that thru this app we too can receive Vcards from Nokias? The reason why I'm asking this is because my PPC device can't seem to receive Business Cards from Nokia phones.
My sincerest thanks!
hi guys
i found a app that sens vcards on the net but i cant remember where it was on one of the free ware sites.
regards kevin :lol:
Is there any solution for sending vCard or Nokia style contact information/business card via SMS?
Standard solution creates MMS message which delivers a card correctly to any Nokia phone, but as MMS which is more expensive than SMS.
Any ideas, anyone?

I would be interested in this aswell. I think a simpel app could be writen to do this. I cant imagin it being much more than text formating.
Later; Lew
You could use O2 Sms plus to do that but the program stricly for sending vcard unless you install the o2 rom. I will try to upload it tonight.
You could try this small application. It works fine for me but to be able to send Vcard, you have to add the +country code in front of the received mobile phone number and also you can only send to contacts that have been saved as "mobile phone".
Try this O2 Sms plus
Thank you
Looks like it works, thank you.
MDA Touch Plus..recently just had it back from repair, but they have also done a software upgrade.
Unfortunately now my text messages are threaded and showing "Conversation with" and just the mobile number. Therefore I have to look up my contacts for who is sending me a text message.
Been through all the settings and I have deleted all sim contacts from my contacts list.
Racking my brains here, any help guys how to get it back so i can see contact names again in my messages? I dont mind if they are still threaded so long as I can see who it is.
thanks in advance.
My wife's got the same issue. Just been back to T-Mobile for repair, got the latest firmware installed and now contacts aren't being recognised in the threaded messages.
A temporary fix seems to be to amend the contact mobile number to start +447xxx rather than 07xxx and this seems to work, but as she's got a couple of hundred contacts (uses her phone for work as well as personal use) it's gonna take some time to update them all.
Don't have this issue with either my Diamond or my Trinity (both also running WM6.1).
Any further help appreciated!
One option might be to disable threaded SMS - install this cab and all should be well again.
Hope that works for you!
Message thread resolved.
It works! Many thanks Khrushy

Youre right, been onto tech guys, this is the only cure at this moment in time. Took me half an hour to change all the contacts to +44 but its workable now. Thanks for your suggestion Martins40
I have pda for along time and I don,t know the answer to this.
Sometimes I want to sent a contcts details to a college. Youu can beam if they are standing next to you or if oyur lucky you can send them as a sms. Not always very reliable. Can you send them as an email, that would be great.
Any ideas or is it obvious and i am the last person to know.
I send contacts as vcard via sms. Easy for both sender end receiver And it has never failed me ...
Regards
Asbjørn
not always
I find it doesn't work with all phones. My friends on htc just didn't recieve them and now his iphone doesn't like them either. Email just seems to be the way forward for me and I am sure there must be away.

There actually sent as MMS if you look at menu in contacts it will send contact Via (it depends on the ROM ) or something similar, this will then show your mms screen and you just add recipient it will be sent as a Vcard which is attached and will have all the info of that contact

Yeah I know that the contacts can be sent as MMS but I wanted to send it as SMS, has anybody got any idea?!
If you go to contacts tab > all people > click on a contact > menu > send contact by message
Hi,
I've looked around and couldn't find anything related to this post, so here goes
I've been looking for an app that would let me send a contact vCard or business card via SMS.
the phone allows you to send it using MMS, but that isn't very helpful to some that don't have MMS.
I've tried ContactSender, which works well, but sends the contact information over SMS and not the vCard on the whole per se.
Any suggestions?
