Sending Contact Information by Email
Oftentimes you may have contact information for someone that you’d like toshare
with others. The simple way to do this is through email. Just pick the contact infor-
mation you want to send, and your iPad attaches this contact information to an
email message as a vCard (.vcf ) file that practically every contact management
program can import.
To email contact information, follow these steps:
1. From the Home screen, tap Contacts. The Con-
tacts screen appears.
2. Find a contact whose information you want
tosend.
3. Tap Share Contact. An Email button and Mes-
sage button appear, as shown in Figure 25-6.
4. Tap the Email button. (If you want to send a text message, tap the Message
button instead.) A message and the virtual keyboard appear on the screen
with your contact information stored as a vCard file, asshown in Figure 25-7.
5. Tap the To text field, and type an email address. (If you tap the plus sign
at the far right of the To text field, you can pick a name stored in your
Contactsapp.)
6. (Optional) Tap the Subject text field, and type a subject for your message.
7. Tap the message text field where the contact information appears, and type
new text or modify the existing text.
8. Tap Send.
