Contact card SMS is not received [released]
asked 2014-02-04 00:41:45 +0200
When I send contacts from my N9 to the Jolla as 'Contact cards', they are not received / handled.
I can look up a contact on the N9, say, the Finnish Institute in London, ask N9 to 'Send contact card', select the fields I want to send, send them to the Jolla, but then nothing... (N9 sends contact cards as two SMSes and not an MMS, apparently).
This bug relates specifically to the old SMS Contact Card vcard protocol not being implemented, as distinct from later MMS-based vCard .vcf attachment-style protocols.
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

chemist ( 2014-02-04 14:03:14 +0200 )edit@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 https://together.jolla.com/question/7695/share-contact-carddetails-via-sms/

Zandi ( 2014-02-04 14:46:57 +0200 )edit@Zandi how do you know that? My provider's billing system (Virgin Mobile UK) lists two 'text to another network' for a contact card sent from the N9 and one 'Picture Message' for an image sent from the N9.
