An SMS Business Card (vCard) is an electronic business card standard devised by the Internet Mail Consortium and later adopted by the Internet Engineering Task Force. vCards are the mechanism by which most phones and other applications on the market today store and send address book entries. Like any specification there are versions. Each phone's support for vCards differs. By letting us know what phone you have we can determine what version of the vCard specification your phone uses and therefore what version of vCard to send to your phone.

There are 2 main vCard versions supported in the world of mobile devices today: 1.0 and 2.1. The main difference between these two is the amount of information that can be held against a contact in your address book. If you can only store a single number against each name you are running 1.0. If you can store a range of information, including multiple phone numbers, email addresses and so forth you are running 2.1.

When it comes to sending your phone contacts we know what phone you want us to send it to, you've told us what brand and we can figure out what version of the vCard specification it's using. If we can't figure it out, because we've never seen that phone before, you'll just need to send us one contact and then we'll know.
