Share contact via text mesage

Hi there,
I'm having some trouble sharing Iphone contacts via text message. When I go to any contact in my Iphone and hit the "Share Contact" button, rather than bringing up "Message" or "Email" pop-up it goes straight to open a new email with contact in the in the body of the email as .vch file and sending it from my default email address. This has worked for me in the past, I don't know what has changed.
I'm using Iphone 4 OS 6.
I've tried whole lot of different thing but still the same.
Any suggestions please.
Cheers
Aman

Go to Settings /iCloud/ and then click on Account. Re-enter your password.
Turn iMessage off and then back on by going to Settings/Messages and sliding the toggle off and on.
Then go to Settings/iTunes & App Store and click on your Apple ID and re-enter your password.
Turn the iPhone off and then turn it back on.
Retry try sharing the contact.
The above steps resolved the issue for me.

Why can't I 'share contact' via text on my iPhone 4S?

No problem receiving them but when I try sending one, the message fails :(

No try resetting your network settings, this will delete any saved Wi-Fi network passwords that are on the phone at the moment, but all you have to do is go back into your phone and enter the network password. Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

Share contact via yahoo email not working

Hi, When I try to share a contact via email using my yahoo email account it always come through to whomever I send it to but it somes through jarbled up and unreadable. I can send/share the same contact or multiple contacts using my exchange email account or my gmail account and it send the contact with no troubles and it can be viewd by whoever get's it. But when trying to send it over yahoo email it just doesn't work.Has anyone else noticed this problem or know of any fix?
I have deleted the yahoo account, reset all network settings, force restart the iphone and readded the yahoo acount, nothing worked still exact same trouble.
Thanks

Apparantly this is also happening when trying to share location via the Mapps application as it also attaches a .VCF file to the email. yahoo is not letting this pass intact. Same trouble but my exchange work account will send it and my gmail will send it also. This must be a yahoo issue. I don't know what else I can try.

Photos get stuck in outbox; can't share contacts via email

When I try to email a photo from one of my albums, it gets "stuck" in the (gmail) outbox. I have to go into the outbox and send again or it stays there indefnintely. Also, when I try to "share" a contact via email, it also gets stuck in the (gmail) outbox, and also needs to be manually sent again, and when it arrives, there's no contact information. Otherwise everything appears to work fine.

The same occurs with all accounts, or with one account in particular?
Even weirder is that I can forward these messages but can not send them.
Forward these new messages from where? You can forward a received message or a message that was successfully sent which will be located in the account's Sent mailbox, but you can't forward a newly composed message.
Even worse the outbox doesn't show up at all on my mac when i sync, so these messages are stuck in my iphone somewhere in limbo.
Email account mailboxes and messages and the iPhone's Outbox are not included with the iTunes sync process. Server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, but the Outbox mailbox with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPhone's Mail application is not synced with anything.

Cannot receive contacts through "Share contacts via sms"

Whenever I try to share a contact (by going into contacts and selecting "share contact" and then selecting "message") the recipient receives a text message saying <<contact_name.vcf>> but they cannot import that contact. It doesn't matter what phone they received the contact with, be it iPhone or otherwise. The same happens when I receive a .vcf file from someone else on my iphone (again doesn't matter the origin, iphone or otherwise).
I've also tested this problem and recreated it on all of my friends iphones. They are all iphone 4 and running at least iOS 5.0. Anyone know whats going on? Thanks!

Hi michelefnc
This feature is not available. You may want to consult your wireless provider as they may have a method to move your contacts over.
Thanks

I am so thouroughly disgusted with my VERIZON services. I bought the mini ipad from my verizon store and added it to my plan in December 2013. I was contacted via text that I was over my data usage. I called verizon and was ASSURED that I was NOT over

VERIZON has no respect for customers and LIES TO THEM OVER THE PHONE. I just paid $430.00 for NOTHING BECSUE I WAS LIED TO. my number is 870-307-4425 not that any of you will have the balls to call me back. ******* CORPORATE ******* THEIVES.

Also, grab your most recent $430 bill and look at the breakdown. Pro rations are on there and a bunch of stuff is going on, it all makes sense if you take time to read your statement.

How can I share contacts with Android users via the "share contact" button via messaging or otherwise

Appologies in advance if this has been asked before.
I have an iPhone 5/iOS 6. My friend(s) use Android phones. At times, they request a contact I have, but every time I select "Share Contact" via the button in my iPhone's Contact list, either as an Email or Message, they recieve an unusable file format - in other words, it just doesn't get to them. If I manually copy and paste the fields into a txt, they will get the info. Is there an app, or something I need to do differently to be able to share contacts with Android users via the "Share Contact" button in iOS?
Thanks,
Nathan

Shouldn't be an issue here, as the iPhone shares the contact info in standard vCard format.

Cannot send photo or contact as text message

Running the newest update 8.1 (10/22/2014) on a iPhone 5S. I STILL cannot share a contact via text message. I STILL cannot send a photo as a text message when I select a photo directly from my camera roll/photo albums. I can send a photo in an EMAIL directly from the camera roll/photo albums, but not in a text message. I can start a text message and then click on the camera icon and attach the photo. I haven't been able to do this since iOS 8 came out.
Sharing a contact and a photo via text messages were things I could do with iOS 7. Anyone else having this problem?

With iOS 7 you would open your camera roll or album, select the photo you wanted, click on send as a message, then it would take you to the text screen where you could see the photo being sent as it asked you for the recipient's phone. Now when I click on send as a message it takes me to the text screen, but as you can see, the photo is not attached. Same thing with a contact…I can click on "share contact as a text message" but when it takes me to the text screen, nothing is attached.

My bb classic suddenly unable to send/receive photos via text messages

It was working up until a few weeks ago. Now I cannot share photos via text. What happened and how to fix it?

Rebooting the device is the first troubleshooting step for odd issues like that. Resetting is the second. It was more efficient for me to suggest the reset, but in the future you should try just rebooting.
And if you find yourself rebooting or resetting often, take a look at what you are doing, such as the last app you installed, the apps you are running, the apps you have open at the time, in short any coincidences.
For what it's worth I practically never do resets and seldom reboot.

Delete your account in 1. "Settings > iCloud" + 2. "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" + 3. "Settings > FaceTime", but still let them using your account for iTunes and app purchases in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Of course, please make sure that they do not know your password to set up your account for iCloud again or purchase anything alone.
