How to Send a Contact From an iPhone

The Apple iPhone is a revolutionary smartphone designed and manufactured by Apple. In addition to multimedia features, the iPhone has the standard functionality that comes with any other smartphone: email, calendars and contact management. A user also has the ability to share and send contact information directly from his phone to other recipients.

Step 3

Touch the "Contacts" icon to access the app.

Step 4

Scroll to the contact you want to share or send to someone else. You can also search for her by using the search feature at the top of the window or by pressing the letter that corresponds with her name to the right.

Step 5

Touch the contact once you have found him.

Step 6

Scroll to the bottom of the contact's entry and select the "Share Contact" menu option.

Step 7

Select "Email" or "MMS," depending on how you want to send the contact's information.

Step 8

Enter the recipient's email or MMS number, depending on the option you chose.
