As I've said, I've never tried with vCards, sorry. As far as I know, many phones recognize a text message that starts as "BEGIN:VCARD" as a vCard (That's not EMS of course!) and Nokia has it's own implementation over SmartMessaging (binary) or //SCKL (text). Neither are EMS also.
I've read that the EMS vCard support was added later on the EMS specs so they are not _so_ widely supported, but I cannot assure you the feasibility for that info... I've googled around a little and I've easily found the EMS white paper. As I've told you, NowSMS have also many forum postings with examples of EMS (not vCards but ringtones and picture messages). Here is the white paper: http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~jidlaw/pages/emswhitepaper.html I think there is only one vCard format for EMS, the other formats dancing around are Nokia implementations and simple text (not delivered over EMS anyway) EMS was developed by a consortium formed by Siemens, Motorola, Sony, Ericsson and Motorola. All those brands usually support EMS messaging and all treat the data the same way, so there _should_ be no EMS differences between them...
