EmailContact
Finally, a way to send contact information from your iPhone or iPod Touch!
Simply touch EmailContact and a contact name, and an Email message immediately pops up with the contact information in it, ready to mail to whomever you like.
Settings allow you to select the fields and categories to include: All, Work only, Home only, All but work, or All but home.
If you’ve been wanting to send contact information to people you meet, or anyone while on the go, EmailContact is the application for you.
Our forums have an area for discussion and support.

This is a really cool app! I could use one thing more, the option to send as a text message from my iPhone since some of my friends don’t have email on their cell phones.
Thank You,
Mark
Will this app email a vcard or just automatically include the contact info as text in the email body?
It puts the contact info as text in the message. I’d like to allow for a vcard, and I’d also like to be able to include the contact picture in the message. -Mike
How possible is the V-card option (and time frame)? Thanks, David
I’ll go with Mark here, and put down a second vote for sending the contact information through SMS. This question has popped up on some forums i visit so there would be other takers for this.
Is this possible to implement?
Vcard would definitely be cool. I just emailed a vcard to my Iphone and it does give you the option to create or add to an existing Contact.
Wow, I just tried mailing my iPhone a vcard from my Mac and it does a beautiful job of importing it! For the next update, I’ll be working on sending as a vcard, and also allowing inclusion of a picture. When? I dunno, this is the apps first day out there. -Mike
As far as sending an SMS, I don’t think Apple has given us a way to send one from an application that we write yet. -Mike
Mike, heard that from another source too that SMS is not accessible in the SDK (hopefully in the future it will be).
Hi
A suggestion is to try to improve on vCard mailer, as it only sends out a few phone numbers with the vCard, but it does include the picture. Your advantage is that you include many fields.

Hi Mike - Yes…please add vCard (with Pic support)!
I like your program much more…bought it yesterday.
Thanks, David
vCard Mailer won’t include phones/addresses, etc. that have custom fields… will this support custom fields?
Thanks!
EmailContact does include custom labels. For example, if you have phone numbers for work, home, SMS (custom label) and factory (custom label), all will be included, unless you filter them out by setting it to send Home only or Work only. -Mike
Lepton,
Any thoughts on a bug fix for the sending email issue? I left a post in the forums. I purchased the software and love it. I actually bought two other similar programs and love yours the best… However, the app crashes when I have ‘email’ turned on under settings. Some things that might help:
1. I am syncing to an exchange server. Although i can’t see how that would affect any differences in the contact database… who knows! I would imagine activesync is just another hook or layer that interfaces with the iphone contact database.
2. I CAN leave the ‘email’ option on and sucessfully create an email for a contact WITHOUT an email address.
I would love to have that fixed! Be glad to collaborate/synergize/whatever to help out.
Thanks

Any timeline on adding vCard functions? Thanks, David
I bought EmailContact yesterday and can’t get it to work. When I tap on the app from the iPhone home screen, I immediately see a screen that says loading contacts. After about 45-60 seconds it goesw back to the home screen. I’ve tried a number of different combinations in the settings but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions?
Fred and I talked in EMail. I said: “Hmm, at that point the program hasn’t really done anything yet, that first panel that says loading, is literally a picture the phone displays before the app is itself loaded. The first thing the app does is call upon the system to show the “contact picker” which looks the same as when you touch the Contacts icon. It’s a list of all your contacts. It must be having problems displaying that list. Do you have loads of contacts (I guess loads would be over 500 or so, I have 450 on my testing phone.)
“I would try turning the phone off and on again to see if that clears out the system somewhat. To do that, hold down the sleep button on top of the phone for about five seconds until you see “Slide to power off”. Do that, then start up again with the sleep button again. With the system restarted, I hope that helps clear up things.”
Fred replied he cut his large contact list down to about 1800 people, which got the contacts to load, but it still crashed after picking a contact.
I have the same problem. The list of contacts appear but crashes after selecting a contact. I’ve already turned off the iphone (rebooted) but still crashes.
I would like to have a solution as soon as posible before posting a negative comment on the app store.
