What is a vCard?

A vCard contains contact information, such as title, phone numbers, and email addresses. You can use vCards to add someone to your contacts list, or to make it easier for people to add you to their contacts list. You can also use vCards to import or export multiple contacts in one file.

How can I use vCards?
