You will find this little tip useful whenever you come across the need to share the contact details of one of your iPhone contacts with anyone who wants to get in touch with this contact of yours. While you can always dictate the contact details over a phone, sending contact details as a vCard attachment via an email is more convenient and cuts down the chances of errors and information being lost. When the recipient of your email opens the vCard attachment (.vcf file), a contact form will open, neatly displaying the contact information.
