texting a contact...

[john.med]

Mate asks me for someone's number, so I try and SMS it to him from my contacts.....

But I can't cos either iFail or iPhone fails.

I can see how I can email a business card to him, but he wants a text cos he's out of the house and doesn't do mobile email....

Am I missing something?

 

[Kerryclio]

You mate doesn't have email on his phone maybe? I don't

 

[john.med]

Sorry, I'm asking if it's possible to send a contact via sms, cos I can't seem to...

 

[Kerryclio]

Oh I see should be able to on the all singing iPhone as you can on most phones

 

[john.med]

Indeed, if I can email contact details, surely I can text them?

MMS???

 

[john.med]

MMS to forward a phone number?

 

[bunzee]

Open the contact>share contact>share using MMS works for me.

 

[richy22]

^^ Thats what I meant

 

[john.med]

On my 3G on 3.0 i get contact>share contact> it then only gives me the option to send to email addresses!!!

And an MMS would cost me about 50p!!!

Copy and paste number in a text??

 

[john.med]

Tried that, wouldn't let
me. Kept ringin the number and not copying it!

Go to contact, tap edit, tap on the number, hold your finger on the number until magnifying glass thing happens, click select all, tap copy and then paste into a text.

or use a bit of paper and a pen.

Everyone should download the app bump.

You open the app and bump fists (like saying safe lol) and you switch contact details
