Sorry, the vCard SMS reception part didn't make it to update5 (only MMS is there). With 99% probability it will be in the next update. Don't promise sending though.

If the contact data fit into a 1-3 SM, it should be sent as SM. My employers web phone book had the option to forward contact data as SM. SMS is still the lowest common denominator while MMS still does...

-1 for the MMS part, I never sent vcards as MMS I always sent as SMS... MMS are like 39c each on all providers in Germany. I have no clue where the impression comes from that vcards should be sent via...

+1 for first pri to MMS, -1 for saying SMS-based vCards are "optional". This is a smartphone, and should act as one ;)

This is a known issue. We are actively working on MMS support and once it's released Jolla should be able to receive contact cards via MMS. We will try to sneak in support for SMS-based vCards as well...

OK, will test again sending a contact card from something which definitely can't handle picture messages: the venerable Nokia 1100 ... and it didn't arrive to Jolla, but arrived and was correctly...

never received MMS means that your provider had recognized a previous phone as capable and therefore does not send a link as SMS to you. Probably there is no denial of service by the Jolla to make the...

@chemist apparently the true SMS contact card of Nokia's design wasn't widely implemented by other manufacturers and so the de facto standard for sharing contact is vcard sent via MMS...

The Jolla is not able to send or receive MMS yet. To send a contact (.vcf) as an attachment of a short message, the message changes into MMS format. at the n9 for sure find more info about mms here:...

@chemist - looks like this is not an MMS issue : the old [SMS vcard protocol](http://www.ozekisms.com/index.php?owpn=253) is not implemented either (N9 is sending 2 SMS per contact card, not one MMS).

@Zandi attaching a contact to a SMS will get you a MMS as you attach a .VCF, a file to it! If you open a contact and share it you will open a context menu to choose what to share and end up in sending...
