Question

I don't know what is wrong with my syntax (or Nokia & Samsung phones) because when i send it to Sony Ericsson it will be processed and save as a Contact but when i send it to Nokia or Samsung it will be displayed as plain message.

This is my syntax & works perfectly in Sony Ericsson:

   BEGIN:VCARD
   VERSION:2.1
   N:myname;
   TEL;VOICE;WORK:0999999999
   TEL;CELL;WORK:0999999999
   EMAIL:myemail@example.com
   END:VCARD
Was it helpful?

Solution

You may have more success if you send the vCard to the WAP vCard SMS port, 0x23f4, as a binary SMS. It is entirely possible the Nokia handsets are expecting vCards to come from this port.

OTHER TIPS

Few of the cellphones can't detect vCards in SMSs and read it as plain message and this could also be due to version incompatibility issue. As you have posted this question here you want to do all the things programmatically so for j2me if your handset emulator version is having specs as jsr 75 and your emulator is able to access bluetooth or network interface(depend on manufacturer specs) you can read/write vCard records into your handsets via network(gprs/edge) or bluetooth.
