Forwarding contact details as text

I was sent a contact number by SMS today, which I simply wanted to forward as a SMS message to another contact, in the same way you might send a business card to another mobile.
How do I do it?

We all know that right now those clever bods at Apple are probably holding in their hands the iPhone v1.3. This is purely about marketing; bring out a fantastic product which everyone wants, and when the competition bring out theirs, Apple announce the next upgrade with 'stunning MMS capabilities', 'Create your own message tones' etc etc.
One can only hope. I've been thinking about buying an iPhone this week, but all these problems and negligence to the whole texting realm makes me feel like I'm considering the Zune of the phone world. I think I'll pass until some notable changes are made and keep my MMS enabled razor that allows me to forward, download, send pictures, and copy/paste to multiple recipients

Sharing Contact details by text message

If I click on "share" under one of my Contacts to send a message with that person's details to another phone, does it only work with iPhones? I've tried sending it to a Samsung Galaxy and the recipient "can't open the attachment".

You cannot send contact info via SMS at this time.

Z10 reboots when opening text message or contact details

Since last week I am unable to read any text messages as the Z10 reboots everytime I try to open my text messages. Thne when I open my contact details it also either reboots or stay on a white screen. PLEASE ASSIST.

hwessels, try scrolling through your Hub, and without opening the text messages, tap and hold on the old text message threads you know to be the longest threads of all, and delete them.
Then, With your BlackBerry powered on, remove the battery for a minute and reinsert to reboot.
Now, after reboot, give your #Z10 a few minutes to complete all the data sync and attempt to open one of the new messages.

IPhone 4 - iOS 5 upgrade - LOST ALL CONTACT DETAILS

I upgraded to iOS 5 and now I can't get to any of my contact details.
What I have -
The list of my contacts is displayed under the contacts option, but when I touch any contact name it takes me back to the home screen. Can't make any phone calls. But I can receive phone calls and the caller-id displays the correct name too. So my guess is the information is there somewhere, I just can't seem to find it or use it.
What I have tried so far -
1) Resynced contacts from the Info tab in iTunes. I get the following error msg - "iTunes couldnot sync contacts to the "iPhone" because contacts are being synced over-the-air
2) turned off sync over wi-fi from iTUnes. Tried syncing again. Same error message as above.
3) Tried going to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" under settings, it takes me back to home screen. It displays the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" details screen for about half a second and takes me back to home screen.
4) Went to iCloud under settings and tried to turn off teh "Contacts" from there. It simplays doesn't turn off. I can turn off everything else listed under there, but contacts. No matter what I do, it stays on.
5) Signed into iCloud.com with my account. The contacts info there has only one contact listed (mine).
6) Tried to edit contact details from one of my recent text messages. Doesn't work. Takes me backto home screen.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this. At this point I can't even use the main function a phone should be performing, i.e. make calls from my stored contacts.

I had the same problem. Time Machine proved invaluable here. I opened up Address Book, selected "All Contacts", started up TIme Machine via Spotlight, and scrolled back to the day before I ran the 4.2.1 updater. Bada bing, all contacts restored to the address book! Simply did an iPhone sync after that and all was well again.
Still, nasty bug Apple. :-|

I recieved a scam email from apple. then sent me the same email using my own email account. how do I report this to apple. can't find any contact details.

hi over the past month have received maybe 5 scam emails from apple.
I opened one the other day cause I thought well maybe it is from apple.
went through the steps and it was amazed at how well they did at copying apple website. you could even go to the apple shop page from their page!
what set me off that it was fake was that I tried to open the other apple pages along the top and it wouldn't let me. so I opened my own apple page and logged in. and realised that they don't ask for your bank details in your Apple ID account.
anyways so now what has happened is I got an email today " from myself" with this same scam email. it is as if they have hacked my email account and sending me these emails. I want to report this to apple but am unable to find any contact details apart from call back options. does any one have any advice on this.

I've had that same exact issue, I received the first e-mail claiming to be from Apple last night (though over the past week I've received two other scam e-mails from different addresses claiming that my bank transactions have been aborted). It said it was from my own address, and I checked it closely to make sure it wasn't a spoof account but found it was indeed my own e-mail address. Five minutes ago I changed my password, and I have just now received a second e-mail exactly the same, still coming from my own account. My best guess at an explanation is that it may have been sent before I changed my password and there was just a delay in the message sending, resulting in it coming through after changing my password.
I've now forwarded the e-mail on as an attachment to the [email protected] address, however this still doesn't help me with regards to stopping these e-mails. It concerns me that even though I changed my password they still possibly have access to my account. I tried checking my account activity but as opening the mail app on my iPhone is considered as a log in and I check it almost twice an hour, it's impossible to tell which could possible be an intruder logging in.

Add contact detail to a message Nokia N97 Mini

Hi, I bought a Nokia N97 Mini in January, and I still can't resolve this problem: I don't know how to add a contact detail to the body of any text message. I have had several Nokia phones, for years, and I remember that if you wanted to send a text message, lets say to a friend and this friend asked you for someone else's phone number in order to send it you just start a new message> insert content> contact detail, then you just chose the contact you'd like to send the phone number of and that's it. Now, I can't figure out how to do it with my new phone. Sorry if I sound silly, it's just that I don't know where else to look for. Thnx!

Hi,
I beleive you are using MS Outlook.
Try the following workaround.
Manual sync
Open Nokia Ovi Suite--> Sync--> Sync option--> Uncheck the sync automatically everytime you connect the device.
Then Sync--> Sync now--> Contact,
Repair the "pst" and the "ost" Outlook files as in the following location.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\SCANPST.EXE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\SCANOST.EXE
Right click the above mentioned exe file and 'Run' it.
NOTE
It's adviced to take a back- up of the user's Outlook folders to avoid any loss of information.
Check with Microsoft support pages for more information.

Cannot access contact details

my iphone 4, I can open my contacts and select the contact, but cannot open the contact details to dail their number or send a text, can someone help

Yep, I have the same issues with my TTG 700 and my N70. What software version are you running on the TomTom? I'm currently using v5.201 & this doesn't support any N series phone, so I had to choose the 6680 from the list.
TomTom have released a recent software update, v5.420 which is meant to be compatible with more models but I am sure I have read that this version supports the N90 but not the N70 as of yet.
TomTom v5.420 update
Actually I am still running v5.201 as I use the PocketWorld GPS speed camera database and I have read that upgrading to v5.420 can cause issues.
I can make and receive calls using the TTG with the N70 and I can also access the internet if using the traffic update functions for example, that's about it.

Recent contact details disapeared

I was recently roaming on my iphone 4, and was replying to a text when i saw the name at the top change to a number?
A little later i tried to retrive a telephone number and the person that i was looking for was no longer there? Upon futher checking i found that a number of recently added numbers (back about 3 to 4 months) had also disapeared?
I thought that it may have been something to do with roaming in another country, but back home now and contact have still not returned.
About the same time back as above, i added a gmail (New job) account, and on checking in gmail i have found that the telephone numbers are also missing from my contact details within my gmail account, of the contacts that i set up since starting this account?
Icloud is turned on and when i checked my hotmail account the contact information is stored there?
How do i get it back on my phone?

Hi, I am not sure now.
I was under ithe impression that it was iCloud, but after this experience I don't know?
Anything you can suggest to help?

Importing contact details from PC

Hey,
I was wondering if it's possible to transfer all my contact details from microsoft outlook on my PC to my PM G5?
I've got loads to transfer and really don't fancy sitting there keying each one individually!
My only other option is to somehow transfer from PC onto mobile phone, and from mobile phone to Mac - just means having to go and get the cables, discs etc to be able to do this.
Thanks

allan,
this looks like the closest thing to answering my question, so if you're there, how about this. my version of outlook and outlook express don't allow vcard forwarding, or exporting.
however, i can export .csv - have accessed the information, and correct email addresses show up, but the email block is check-marked "Do Not Import". I cannot find a way to uncheck the selection, even though i've selected email on my address book card display. any thoughts?
thanks in advance,
jon

Send Contact Details

I know that if I open a contact and click share then I can send a contacts details via an email attachement BUT
I want to be able to write a text message to someone and half way through add someone elses contact number to the text so as to send it to someone else. Ie "he tom here is robs number 077777777"
On my old nokia there was a menu option "add contact number".
Can I do this on my iphone or is it actually a case of opening it in address book, copy the number then paste it later into the text message?
Thanks
Chris

The iPhone only supports sending contacts by e-mail or MMS. I've just released a little app that sends contacts via SMS - the contact name and number are just sent as text and you can edit the text of the SMS before sending it.

Problem sending Contact details from iPhone 5

Hi,
Was wondering had anyone else noticed this problem.
When I try to send my contact details via a SMS through Share Contact in Contacts I cannot send my updated contact detials to friends via a SMS message. Has anyone else had this problem and any suggestions and tips to fix this would be much appreciated.
Thnaks K

An attached file with a text message is an MMS. SMS is text only.
If you have MMS enabled on your iPhone and you are able to send SMS, contact your carrier regarding a problem with sending MMS.
