Droid 4 and getting vcards by the default text program

I just had a vcard sent to me, the default text message program won't display it. I also have Pansi text installed and it won't show the vcard either. I had to have it sent to my gmail account. It was turned into a contact quickly. In the default contacts program how do I compose a vcard for myself?

Phone model? Nevermind I see know you have the Droid 4.

The text message app doesn't usually automatically save attachment to the phone's memory. It might temporarily stored in the app's storage. Did you download the vcard (vcf file) to your phone's memory? If so it should be in the download folder. Either a file explorer app or "My download will allow to access the file. The Contacts/People app should have the ability to export a vcf of your contacts and send a contact to someone else.

Thank you Ann154. Someone sent me a vcard from their htc android by text and was surprised that it did not show up in the default text program. I couldn't find it anywhere either, the vcard was sent twice and just dissapeared both times. He sent it to my gmail acc. and it came through and was turned into a contact when I opened it. Good. I am just wondering if the default text is a very light program. The htc android text seems to be a bit more inclussive of this type of service. I searched the download file and the internal files and can find any sign of the vcards. I don't know how to find the default text messages own storage if that is what you are referring to. On exporting, I don't see where the default "contacts" program has any "send vcard of contact" setting or option. You can share if that is highlighted. I don't see where that helps get my vcard type info to someone that is calling and I want to sent them my info at that time. Thanks for your time, I am registered to attend a class through Verizon. The last class I went to (2 1/2 years ago) was Blackberry Storm and the instructor didn't have a Storm and was barely able to tell us the basics.

Now a silly development, after I hung up a phone call last night, there on the screen was one of the vcards sent to me last Saturday. It just appeared out of nowhere.

The sender of the vcard has sent his vcard a total of 5 times via text. I wonder where all that info has gone and when it might just pop up!
