Hi all,
Is there a way to send a contact's phone number via SMS or the whole details of a contact (buisness card)?
On smartphone software I was using "send contact", but I can't find any application for my Jam.
Thanks.
Do a serach for an application called vCard.
It works fine if you make sure the number you're sending to has the international prefix.

I just found your forum and have bee reading throught it for the past few days.
I think this is a great forum as I just purchased an Imate Jam and have resolved several problems from the forum members.
I have one strange occurance on my Jam that I do not know how to fix.
I received SMS's from my service which I do not have the contact number in my address book.
The sms message put's a name from my contacts that is not associtaed with teh SMS. When I deleted teh contact it showed another (The next time I received an SMS).
How to fix this?
It is not a problem...
You mean u got a message from your Service Provider right?
It is possible to send messages without a number in the from field instead it comes with a name. Providers usually send messages like that for conveniance...
It is also possible to do through a software in my Sony Ericsson p910i called iSMS maybe it's one of your friends playing a prank on you...
Let me explain a little bit more.
The message I received is from my service provider 100%.
However, in the SMS inbox it seems to list a name in the from field which belongs to one of my contacts.
Now What I did is remove that contact and waited fro another SMS from my service provoder.
What happened is the from field nows shows some other name that is in my contacts.
My question is, how does the SMS application detrmine the from?
When I had a nokia 6600 it just displayed a number.
Try to find some commonality in the contact like perhaps the first few digits or the last few digits are the same in that case what the provider is doing is that he's sending a message from a special number such as 646, 501 etc... in that case if your numers are not in the international format the phone picks up the nearest alternative name to the number and displays it.. if u save your contact details in international format it does not happen...
e.g +91 ..... in case of numbers from india...
Thanks
Ok I will give that a Try.
How can you tell what number the SMS is from.
When I open it, it just shows the name it has choosen but no number.
I had an option in my old Nokia - send contact card - or something - don't remember it exactly. But it let me send my contact information like name, address, numbers - via sms. Is it possible on the JAM ?
contact details
I think not, but you can send contact details via mms as business cards.
vcard sender

You can beam your contact details via infra-red. I can't see a way of doing it via SMS. Perhaps search on PocketGear or Handango as there will probably be a few apps around that would provide that functionality.
Thanks guys. Will try vCard.
this is my way - just make a new text message, to the number you wish to send... then cut and paste it into the message area. then send it to who u wish to send the contact number..
Hi.
Is there a way to change phone number to contact name in SMS I'm receiving when someone is calling when I'm not online?
When I will go back online I'm receiving SMS with informmation that someone from number xxxxxxx was calling.
I got this person on my contact list, I want to see name instead of phone number.

try to store the contact with international acces number (+49 for germany)
Well, then the problem would be that if the particular contact calls (voice call), then the name might not be displayed...
If you receive an SMS from none German number, this SMS will not identified even if the contact is stored in the address book.
e.g if the number starts with 0049xxxx or +49xxxxx and a contact is there then it will be recognized -> means the name is shown above the message -> always.
When the sender has +31xxxx or 0031xxxx no chance at all, btw not only +31 basically all other country numbers then +49.
It also doesn't work if you create a new contact from the received SMS. Once the sender sends again it’s still not identified.
The phone is the German t-mobile branded version. ROM version 1.33.111.2
SPB shell 3.5 is installed. The same phone book is used on HTC Touch, HTC Diamond and Asus A3x0. none of them has an issue to identify numbers...
Thanks for help
Hi guys, running HTC Magic with cyanogenmod 6.0.0 here.
I have all my contacts phone numbers stored as like 0-41-11-12345, where the "41" is my carrier number so I can make long distance calls when out of town (no need to edit the contact). However I get all SMS messages identified as 0-11-12345 (no carrier number) so the phone does not "link" that sender with my actual contact... I have to search through all my contacts every time I get a new SMS (to see who sent me the message) because I can only see the source number.
Any ideas on how to solve that?
Thanks!
