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?

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.

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.
Hi guys im fairly new to this site but was hoping somebody could help me out. I actually work in the wireless industry and I constantly need to send text messages to multiple people at the same time. Is there an app or plugin that would allow me to make sms groups instead of having to add recepients one by one? thanks in advance , sheemy
i would like to also
i have searched in this issue many times but i did not find any solution, i come over this issue by using jeyo mobile extendor, that enables me to send and receive sms from my pc using outlook, so i view the contacts by group and select all contancts in the group and from outlook i press the buttom of send sms.
but i do not think this will help you cause you are working in a wirless enviroment as you mentioned. i will be happy if we find another solution.
I used to have a great little app that ran on the pc. You could compose messages and then sync them to your xda. Great for long texts.
I cant remember or find one similar as this was years ago
Can anyone suggest one??
Theres plenty that sync with your xda and then you can technically compose a message on your pc and then send it to yourself but thats long and wastes contracted free messages.
Sorry after all that I've just found it lol
Incase you wish to know its called Jeyo Mobile Companion. Its the complete tool for sms management. You can create sms longer than 160 characters and instead of sending them you can simply save to drafts on your device. You can move any messages from any directory (inbox, deleted,drafts etc...)
Great app
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...
Is there a way with the X10 to send a contact record via SMS to someone?
I can't seem to find this information for the life of me.
Surely this is possible...?
I was wondering this too... can do it via Bluetooth.. but not text..!
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can through the Handcent SMS app.
Even Handcent doesn't support this, its quite baffling.
I use Contact Sender app from the market to send contact, but we're SOL when it comes to receiving vcards over SMS, I guess.
So this is an Android problem... Any idea of it's rectified with 2.1 Eclair or 2.2 Froyo???
I'm using froyo on the nexus one. There is no option to send contacts via sms.
Had a look at Contact Sender from the market and it says that it only supports up to v1.5 of Android.
Didn't bother trying it so I went for Ciacs Contact Sender instead and it seems to do the trick quite nicely!
