Received service cards
A DTMF service provider may send DTMF se-
quences to its subscribers in the form of a Service
card that can be stored as DTMF contact cards.
For more information on Dual Tone Multi Fre-
quency (DTMF) tones, see chapter 14 "Phone in-
terface: Sending DTMF tones".
Business cards
The business card is a special short message con-
taining personal information about a contact,
just like a normal business card. You can send
your own business card or any contact card as a
business card.
Business cards sent from a device which supports
the Nokia 9000 Communicator contact card for-
mat can be saved directly as new contact cards
in the Contacts directory (by choosing the
Create
card
command in an opened received business
card).
To send a contact card as a business card:
Open the Business cards folder. Select a busi-
ness card and press
Open
. The contact infor-
mation is retrieved from the Contacts
directory, unless you choose your own busi-
ness card, in which case the information is re-
trieved from the System application’s User
Data card.
