Receiving contacts and appointments over SMS

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Has anyone had any luck at receiving either contacts or appointments via SMS?

Is there a format to make this work?

I sent my phone a VCard, and not only did it not appear as a business card, it actually never even showed it was received!!!

Nope, tried repeatedly when I first got the phone to get business cards but for some unknown reason the SPV just won't have it, not sure what it is but the SMS function on the SPV works entirely different to everyone else.

Some of my texts get corrupted on the phone they get sent to and vice versa, so the fact that v.cards couldn't be sent mdae me think it was that, don't know enough about the technicalities of SMS.

Hi

Ive been researching this for my send vcard program.

the best information about it is (sorry about the long url)

http://www.forum.nokia.com/Forum/Common_Te...XQ/aWQ9MjQ1Mg==

also here if it doesn't work for you http://beersoft.demon.co.uk/spv/nokiasms.pdf

and here

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....msmessaging.asp

the main problem here is that the spv doesn't want to deal with mime encoded texts at all, i want to check the sim update files to find out why they work and our nicely formated vcards dont.

as this is giving me flashbacks to netscape enterprise mail server, dirty mac's 7 or 8 bit mime encoded emails and ISP customers and make's my head hurt, so im going to drink some programming juce and read :) before i go too far off topic again.

I have tried sending a business card from my SPV to a nokia via IR. This worked and came up as business card received.

Weird how it does it one way and not the other.

Just as strange:

I could beam a vCard to an Ericsson-Sony t68i mobile phone but I couldn't beam a vCard to an iPAQ!

Has anyone tried emailing a vCard or Contact?

Hi

I have found out what the problem is, its (drumroll please)... Pocket Outlook

pocketouthouse hides all the vcard messages because it doesn't want to deal with them,

i have tested this loads and its a pain.

if you email a vcard from a real email client and the phone get the messages, it hides/deletes the vcard, which is the same thing it does with the sms vcards, they might be in there but i haven't looked yet

i think we need a better email/sms client :)

later
