Import a VCARD into my C550

[Guest spgster]

Hi,

My mate keeps sending me VCARD contacts via SMS, but my smartphone does not seem to recognize them, so the only way I can save the numbers is to dial them first then save from there..

There must be a tool to handle this blatant omission from an otherwise to phone!

I could be wrong here but I think that the VCARD is a Nokia only thing.

Not so sure... But anyhow...

Is there a way I can at least access these sms messages via explorer so I can bung them in a spread sheet and import them that way?

Seems a bit strange to not be able to receive, but can send...

Boo!

You could save to the PC, import with Outlook, and then it would be auto-synced with your contacts anyway?

That must be the easiest way! :)

Hi Raz,

OK, sounds good.. How do I do this?

I have about 50 sms messages ready to be saved... Cannot seem to find them by browsing (btw, newbie!)

Here was my rather convoluted solution...

1 install Mobile Extender from www.jayo.com

2 downlaod SMS to outlook

3 export sms to text file

4 write a text parser to create individual VCF files

5 Import into outlook contacts

6 sync with phone!

Phew... Not a very nice way, but it worked!
