vCard via SMS
Free AppAbout vCard via SMS
Send and receive vCards via SMS messages.
Application allows vCard to be shared as an SMS through contact's or vCard-files' share menu. VCard is sent as a single binary data message. Due to size restriction and compatibility with older phones, only one name and one number is included in the message.
When incoming SMS contains a vCard, application catches it. User is then
notified and can launch whichever vCard utility is installed. Application
handles both data and text SMS.
known issues
* Not being actively developed. (Mail me if you want to do so.)
* No support for vCard-secure. (I have no equipment to test this functionality.)
* Should ask for confirmation before sending SMS, because it's easy to misclick with touchscreens.
* Won't work for sharing multiple contacts at the same time. (Option is there, but functionality is not.)
* Got some crash reports, which I'm unable to replicate, from Sony Ericsson Xperia users. :(

A nonfunctional piece of feces that I had to fight with to uninstall. I gave one star because there isn't an option to rate any lower.

Pro: it works ! It's integrated very good with the user menu. The received contact is displayed after import. Cons: The name of the sender is not displayed only the number. not that important. Not all details are sent: birthday, emails etc, if you have multiple phone numbers, you have to choose one of them; Keep up the good work, it looks very promising!

To send contact info (usually mine), I am forced to pick the recipient from my address book (but that's exactly the info I don't have). Much better would be implement like standard SMS picker where I can enter just a phone number.

Maybe I am crazy but this does not seem to load up and it hasn't been able to pull cards off of texts...
