This works if the cell providers are the same and if you are sending it from
one Nokia phone to another Nokia phone as far as a business card. However
you must do this from the contacts list to tell the phone to send that
contact as a business card when using the text messaging way.
I've not had any trouble sending business cards this away to people with
many numbers in it. Talks also read the business card screens on most
phones, so when you get one and open it! It should be read. Then you press
Options and select save to contacts.

On a similar thread, i sent myself from one phone to another a business
card as text message as that was the only way, other than via bluetooth.
There were multiple numbers but all were correctly labelled from the
sending phone. However. When the business card arrived at the receiving
phone it had all phone numbers but no labels. I was very surprised. Not a
major problem as I was sending from one phone to another but it was very
interesting exercise for me as it highlighted this problem if I had been
sending on contact details to someone who had asked for them. Mobile
numbers can be distinguished from land-line ones but nevertheless
disappointing.

No the limit isn't the Nokia phone. It is the sin card being it doesn't
have that kind of information on it. If you copy to the memory card then
all data will be retained. This is why the sin card way is for the most
part worthless. Beings it can not handel all the different fields that are
out there.

Alex, this is how the Nokia OS handles them. As for the changed labels
this
would happen also if you did a backup of the address book to the memory
card, the labels that you change will only hshow up changed within the
contacts. There should already be labels prelabled within the contact list
for things such as work mobile and personal moble, work phone and home
phone, work fax and home fax, work email and home email as well as others.
You can also have multiple of the same label such as an example you might
have 3 home phone numbers using the label provided called home phone. I
have
had to do this with a couple of people in the past since they had more
than
one number going to one place such as work.

Subject: [Talks] question about copying contacts to sim card
Hi list.
I am wondering if someone knows what might be going on with the following
problem.
I am copying contacts from my phone to my sim card.
the copying appears to go OK, however when I brows to my sim directory, I
find all my contacts there, but in several cases where I have multiple
numbers for a contact, the sim card has created individual entries for
each number.
so for example, lets say I have a contact called john smith, who has two
numbers, there will be two contacts called john smith.
also, even more annoying, in the phone book stored on my phone, where I
do
have multiple numbers for contacts, I usually rename the fields so that
for example one might be called work mobile, and another might be called
personal mobile.
this information has not been copied to the sim card, so using our john
smith example again, in both contacts called john smith it just says
telephone and gives a different number in each, and it hasn't preserved
the different labels for the numbers.
this will make my contacts annoying to sort out, as on a lot of them I
have home and mobile numbers stored in one card, and also numbers for
there wives and partners all of which has just been scrambled by the sim.
luckily I still have the original in phone memory, but I would like to
know why the copy of my phone book on the sim is so scrambled and how I
can get the information copied correctly.
Many thanks for your help,
Alex.
