How do you send a contact through SMS?

Tried to search for the answers to no avail. In the contacts page, you can beam a contact to another person through irda or through bt. But another way is to send it through SMS like what most mobile phones do. Can someone point me in the right direction?

It's not possible. Unless you're using a nifty PIM software. :lol: Just copy and paste it.

tetragrammaton's right. There is no built-in way to do this.
I think there's a utility that allows you to send vCards floating around on the internet somewhere, though.
Best way is to just go to your contact, select the number, copy, and then paste it into your sms. Most (not-so-smart) phones will recognize the number automatically.
Have anyone noticed that the Windows Mobile Phone Edition just 'swallows' certain types of smses?
Nokia Business Cards and Picture Messages never reach me, and I also never get any indication that the phone ever encoutered them, either. :shock:

I'm not sure if i got it from here or from other site. Just search for vCard.PPC2003_ARM
Hope this helps

Thanks for all your replies and input guys. I'll try rollyblu's suggestion.

Ooops, forgot to login. Thanks for all your replies and suggestions. Will try them all. Thanks rollyblu for pointing me to that program.

Here you go...

Thanks. Already downloaded and installed vCard and I confirmed that on wmobile phones, the vcard is dropped, meaning they don't receive it. They probably need to also be configured w/ vCard.

I've installed vCard and I have to say that it's a fantastic application. Now I can send vCard from my Xda IIs to any mobile phone supporting it. I've tried sending vCard from mobile phone to my IIs. It works smoothly.

Have you tried doing this w/ nokia or sonyericsson phones? Does it work both ways?

So far I've tried it only with Nokia 7710, 6100 and 3120. I can send vCard to those phones, as well as receive vCard from them. For SonyEricsson, I haven't conducted a test yet. But I think it should be the same.

Forgot to mention that I can also send vCard using my IIs to my own number (my IIs acts as the sender and recipient at the same time).

Thanks for the feedback.

I tried it on SonyEricsson T610, the result is a bit dissappointing. Sony can received my vCard and display it correctly, but my IIs received vCard as a plain SMS (not in normal vCard format).

I sent a VCard to a Nokia 6600 and it worked just great. I haven't tried it in request but I am thinking the same will happen as seen on a SE.

I've confirmed it workes ok with Nokia phones. Too bad about the sonyericsson flaw.
Thanks for all your inputs guys. This thread will certainly be useful for those who want vcard sending through sms.

I'm having error using the vcard. "vCard can't be sent (WapSend)."
Someone please advice.
Thanks

Try to check if your messaging is defaulted to SMS and not MMS.

how to check if the settings is at SMS instead of MMS?

I would rather think that you write your TXT message within messmo and it verifies if the recipient is a messmo user.
- If yes, then the TXT is sent as is free of charge
- If not the TXT will be sent via your own provider's SMS service and charged as usual
Sascha

correct ! ! you can exchange free sms between any messmo users in any coutry.
messmo uses gprs to send messages, so if the other person also has messmo, then they can exchange sms for free irrespective of their country.
so grab the software . . . make your messmo friend cirlce and start sending sms for free with an attachment ! !
isn't it coooool?

Nice software, well but where can i find freinds to use this software.

There is no restrictions on country area. You can send sms globally.Recently Messmo has launched new version with 2 new features- Voice message and Real MMS. Now you can send a voice message to your friends, no need to spend money on making calls. Really Messmo is the best for instant messaging in the world.

can anybody tell me plz if i can find it .cab, or if someone has any solution to my problem, and thanx

SMS issues when data active?

I'm not 100% certain, but APNdroid widget pretty much saves me on this stupid and quite odd issue.
Every time I initiate a data connection my phone won't receive SMS's and when I disable data (using APNdroid) all my messages come in that I've "missed" during my data session.
What's the go with that?
Maybe someone re-produce. I tried it twice and I found the issue.

It is kind of weird the behaviour of the sms retrieval when I'm using a data connection. I'm quite certain that its still happening but I've had success at times too so it makes it unpredictable.
I see that no one has a similar problem so I may have a dud haha

Odd. Sms don't use data access unless you use mms.
Maybe you are getting mms mixed up with sms? Also sounds like a network problem and not your phone
Sent from my Apple Newton 2100

Have asked the support from your carrier? I guess this is a problem with your provider. Maybe you can try a different device with Data connection to test it?

What i have noticed is that sometimes i cant recieve nor sms neither calls and I have full of signal.
I dont know if it has to do with my 3g internet connection wich is always on or with my provider.

Have you got SMS send enabled on your simcard/telco ? SMS recived is usually enabled but sometimes sms/caller id and mms is disabled at telco end.

SMS issues disappeared.
I haven't mixed mms and sms up but for that day I reproduced this issue a few times but I'm happy to say that its not happening anymore.

Group Messaging doesn't exist!

Just upgraded to the S5 from the S3. I used Handscent for a long time over the default messaging app. With Handscent I was able to use group messaging (mms) with users on android and iphones. With the S5, the default app will send a message out, but to each user individually.
Using Handscent, a text will be send to the group fine, but any replies will start new threads on my phone. Also, it will for some reason add my own number to the group text, so I am basically sending a text to myself.
In the end, I have multiple threads, 1 for replies, 1 for my sent message and 1 with my own phone number being added to the group.
In the default app, there doesn't seem to be any MMS options. Did Samsung really not think about this?

I am using stock messages and I have group chat but the people in my group all have the s5; we tried adding another friend who has the htc m7, idk if he opted out of it but he kept coming up as separate text for me even though he was receiving all of our text.

He probably has group chat disabled. On the HTC m7 group chat is disabled by default. I always forget to enable it when I flash a new Rom lol.

The application I'm using also works the same as yours. Maybe, it's just the way the application works or maybe it's not that compatible with Samsung. Coz even on my old S3, the SMS application works the same, so I think, that just how it works. But the stock SMS of Samsung, the group chat works fine and it will not create single thread when one on the group chat replied.

[Q] No MMS After KitKat Update

Hello all! I'm having a problem I hope someone can help me with. I recently updated my Note 3 with the leaked KitKat build and while everything seems to be working fine, I have lost the ability to receive MMS picture messages. I can send them to anyone just fine, but have not been able to receive one since. My fiance has sent me several and I don't get the picture or any kind of notification of a new message. I've tried both the stock messaging app, and Handcent, no difference with either. Anyone out there have any suggestions? Thanks!

Try the Verizon messaging app from the play store. You can even access your messages from the Web and has a built in cloud backup.

I had the same problem of sorts. Not sure if you could but I was able to get the picture message just not download it. I found that if I turned WiFi off and just went off cellular network it would download then though, but not when connected to wifi. Hope that helps.

I had the problem of sending mms with WiFi on with my Note 2, but no problems with mms at all on the Note 3 until the KitKat update. Is there a setting someplace that I am missing? It's weird that everything worked before the update.

Hopeful Solution?
Alright, here's my story, after switching from Sense to CM11 when I first got my HTC One a few months ago things were working alright, then at some point I lost the ability to send or receive mms messages. I looked online and found that there were a few people with the same problem, most said the problem had to do with the apn settings, the solution to was either modified apn settings or using an alternate messaging program, such as 8sms.
Anyways, I tried several different apn setups to try and get my mms back, my LTE internet worked, but no mms. Eventually I found a setup that allowed me to send a mms to someone, but not receive one. I figured that was a good as I was going to get it.
After a few OTA nightly updates I decided to tinker with the apn settings again; my hope being that one of the new nightlies would have fixed the problem if I restored my apn settings to default. This didn't help and cost me the ability to even send mms. Needless to say I scoured the web to find usable apn settings again (I prefer to use the stock messaging app), eventually I ended up Frankensteining several together and found a solution that allowed for me to send and receive mms, as well as my LTE internet!
[TL/DR]
Found APN settings that enable sending and receiving mms, as well as LTE internet (with a lte subscription, it's not a hack or anything).

I know some people have connection problems including wifi, idk anything about that. This is just the set up I found that got mms sending and recieving working again.
EDIT
Get to 'APN Settings' by opening 'Voice Dialer' and saying clearly "Open APN", this will prompt you to open APN Settings, from there you can edit things.

Fore me it works fine, i can send mms with wifi + data on. Did you fallow the instructions when you did the KK update...my suggestion is try to send the mms just using data but turn your wifi off, also make sure the receiver has the cellular data on if you are sending it to phone.
Hope it helps
