Sending contact info with iphone?

trying to figure out if the feature I use quite frequently on my old phones, i.e. sending contact info to friends using sms, mms, bluetooth, ... realy doesn't work on the iPhone. Thought this was as much a standard as sms as a concept, but can not find a way of doing this on the iPhone.
The normal use case is that I e.g. send all my contact info to friend in order for friend to be able to contact me using any or all means available... mail, phone, letter, ...

This is not a feature of iphone.
Maybe you can find an App that will help in the App Store.

  • Sending contact info

    How do I send contact info from my Contacts to another person by e.g. SMS? There seems to be no way to copy a contact info from one application to another in Phone...

    It would be a good idea to have something like that. Here we are with a neat device that can do anything, but two people still have to manually enter contact info in front of each other. What's cool would be to just put two iPhones face to face, do some pumping motions, and whisper a secret code into the mic to initiate the contact exchange.

    How do I sync Windows 7  contact list with iphone?

    If both computers are running Lion the easiest way would be to sign up for a free iCloud account and let Apple do it for you via the cloud.

  • I can't send contact info or notes from my iPhone to another iPhone via message.  when i try touching the send button nothing happens.

    I thought I used to be able to share contact information with another iphone user via messaging.  Recently I tried sharing both contact information and "note", but have been able to do so.  When I try touching the send button, nothing happens.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Or, am I mistaken, is sharing via messaging not an option?

    If I send via email from either iPhone or iPad it seems like it has sent but it doesn't. If I send via text message from iPhone it says message failed to send and won't send again no matter how many times I try

  • Send contact info in email or text message on iphone

    How can I send contact information in an email or a text message? Also, is there are way that I can copy information within a contact, email or text message for use elsewhere?

    You guys just wait ! !
    The iPhone is simply a breakthrough... It's interface is revolutionnary.
    Of course many functions are missing right now (I myself could list a good 5 cruelly missing features, but it's not the object of this answer...).
    But here's a thought :
    Apple is NEW at this... The most important part of a phone is...to be able to make or receive a call... that has to be ALWAYS working.
    So, Apple is making sure that the iPhone is STABLE. In order to do so, it needs to proceed cautiously, adding a bunch of features aphazardly would probably cause the iphone to crash regularly, something Apple simply can't let happen : IT'S STILL A PHONE ! !
    It's true Apple seems to have made some wrong choices at the beginning (ex: no third-party apps !), but they have come back from that !They will soon deliver a platform for third-party apps that will guarantee stability.
    So, I am positive that the future updates will allow us to do EVERYTHING a Blackberry does (or any other phone...)in a much smoother way too...
    But if being patient is the price to pay for stability, I can wait !
    Some of you will argue that Apple should have work out these kinks sooner and launch a "finished" product. Do that I would answer : you've got to launch it sometimes ! If you wait too long, you might get passed by...
    It seems that the iPhone is a succes despite its faults... Apple has established their customer base and I think it will now start to Deliver even more on the iPhone !
    And to think I don't even own stock ! How could I write such a dithyrambic post ! !

  • Sync Gmail contacts & Calendar with iPhone?

    Is it possible to sync the contacts and calendar in Gmail with iPhone?

    I believe there is an option under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences to sync contact information with a Gmail online address book, and the same for a Yahoo online address book, but not for calendar events.

  • Diffferent contact info on iPhone and MBP

    I wish to start using iCloud with my iPhone and my MBP.  The problem is that I have different contact info on my iPhone than on my MBP.  The MBP contact info is the accurate info.  So I don't want the iPhone contact to sync with the MBP contacts but want to have the MBP contacts overwrite the iPhone contacts.  How can I do that?
    I have saved a copy of my contact book on the MBP, just in case.
    Thanks
    Echo Sierra.

    Open Contacts, select All Contacts on the left-hand side, click a single contact to the right and press Command-A to select them all (they should all be highlighted).  Then go to File>Export>Export vCard and save this on your desktop.  Then download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone.  Open the app and tap the gear-shaped icon on the bottom right.  In the window that opens, scroll to the bottom and click Remove All Contacts.  Confirm that the contacts are no longer on your phone (or on icloud.com if you are already syncing contacts with iCloud).  Then email the vCard that you saved earlier to yourself, open it on your iPhone and tap the attachment to import the contacts from your Mac to your phone.
    The contacts on your phone should now match your Mac.

  • Can I transfer contact info from iphone back to my Mac?

    Ok, now that I have organized and updated my iphone with all of my personal and business contact info, can I transfer all that info back to my Address Book on my laptop?

    1)  Copying personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    After you have Edited your Photos...
    2) Connect your iPad to your MacBook Pro and Sync the photos you want back on your iPad.
    Read here...
    In iPhoto create a New Album and call it something like ' iPad Pictures '... Put all the photos you want into that Album...
    When Syncing with iTunes... Select that iPad Pictures Album and Sync.

  • Syncing new contact info on iPhone to iMac!

    Hello, HNY to all!
    This may have been asked elsewhere in these discussion forums but haven't been able to find anything yet.
    Over the last few months I've added new contact info directly to my iPhone and now want to sync this back to my iMac. Is this doable to sync info from iPhone to iMac?? I haven't tried this yet and don't want to lose any contact info.
    Thanks in advance.
    Dominic

    When you sync your iPhone on iTunes, on the Summary page select Info and then select what you want to sync, in your case, sync Contacts.
    If you have Mobile Me, check Contacts in the list of items you want to sync with Mobile Me.

  • HT1296 i cannot syn outlook contact info to iphone & can I delete the songs in music of iPhone directly

    If you are trying to sync contacts direct with Outlook on your computer via the iTunes sync process, this is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. You need Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010.

  • PLEASE HELP! Facebook synced my contact info with someone else?

    so basically, I downloaded the new ios 6 and was happy with the facebook syncing with my contacts. My friend who is also an iphone user did the same and realised that my contact info on her phone was coming up with my name and number and personal email but someone elses profile picture and 'facebook email'.  when i looked at my own contact info on my phone it was the same case? i would really like to know how to get rid of this! HELLLPPP

    It can not do that all by itself.
    When you plugged it in, iTunes said 'Oh goody! You got a new phone! Would you like to make it just like your old phone?'...
    You explicitly said 'Yes'.
    You can't undo that.
    No backup of the current state of the new phone was made. It was wiped and the last backup of your old phone was restored to it.
    Anything you had on the new phone is gone.

  • HT4859 lost my contacts' info on iphone after i signing onto icloud

    Hi, I lost all of my contacts' info after signing onto icloud and backing up.  Now, contact list on my iphone is blank.  How can I get the info back onto my iphone without resetting?  Thanks

    If you backed up both devices - like you should always do when you update a device - any device - then the contacts should be in your backup - and you can restore from the backup. If you didn't backup - they may be gone.

  • Transferring Contact Info from iPhone to another phone

    Back before I had the iPhone, my wife and i could share contacts by swapping sim cards, she'd copy all the contacts from my sim card to her phone. I'd like to share my iPhone contacts with her non-iPhone - is there a way for me to copy my iPhone contacts to my iPhone sim card?

    No, the iPhone does not and cannot store contacts on the SIM card (although it can import data from a SIM card, it can't write contact data to a SIM card).
    You'd need to sync those contacts with your computer, then sync her phone with the computer (if it supports that).

  • Why won't contacts sync with iphone

    I'm loosing the will to live and I've spent hours trawling through the huge amount of fixes suggested on various sites but to no avail. I run a macbook pro, OSX10.6.8, Itunes 10.4 and the software on the iphone was updated today. Syncing with iTunes worked fine up until about 3 weeks ago - I don't know what happend but it just stopped. If I delete all the contacts in the mac address book (310) and run a sync nothing changes on the 472 iphone contacts. All the settings appear to be correct in the preferences. If I check the box to stop syncing contacts and delete all 472 contacts on the phone - they all dissapear. When I reset the sync contacts check box and check the "replace all the contacts on this phone during the next sync" box I get all 472 back again. Can anybody offer any help at all please before I slash my wrists!!

    Clearly it doesn't work as I imagine! But I still don't understand what you mean. I'm not saying that I don't like Google's instructions,- what makes you say that?  I'm saying that I think I've already followed them to the letter. How have I not? What else, exactly, do I need to do? Talk me through an example, please.
    "You have added a data conduit between Google and your phone. But you have not put anything IN that conduit, save the data Google already has."
    What I want to put into it is the contact data aleady on my phone (and in icloud). Google's instruction seems to say that to put something in the conduit, I just have to open Contacts on the iphone. Clearly that's not correct. So what do I do?
    Here's what I'm refering to in Goolge's instructions:
    "If you're using iOS 5 or iOS 6, follow these steps to set up contact syncing with Google Contacts:
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > Other > Add CardDAV Account.
    Enter the following information in the fields: 
    Server: google.com
    User Name: your full Google email address
    Password: your Google account password
    Tap Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
    After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically."
    The last sentence seems to me to mean that opening Contacts will "put someting in the conduit".
