Want to find out how to easily share someone's contact information on your iPhone? Simply go into your address book on your iPhone, tap on the contact you'd like to share and you'll see an option at the bottom to share the contact. When you tap that, you'll be presented with an option to either MMS or e-mail the person's information. Choose your option and the respective app will launch by itself. Read on for a few more screenshots and a little bit more explanation.
If you're sending via MMS, you have to choose who you're sending it to and click send.
Sending by e-mail isn't much different, just type in the person's email address you'd like to send the contact card to (or choose them from your address book) and you're contact will be sent on it's way!
Also keep in mind this isn't just an iPhone to iPhone feature. Most smartphones and even some feature phones will support .vcf (contact) files. Sending a contact to a person with a Blackberry or Android device should work just as well. Next time you need to send someone's contact information, give this a try if you haven't already!
Bonus tip: You can't MMS on iPad or iPod touch, but the email option is still a great way to share contact info.
