The phone number exchange protocol you describe seems to demand that at least one of the persons is spelling out his/her phone number out loud ...
What I would expect is a protocol where both just should be able to connect their phones on short distance (bluetooth, whatever) and acknowledge an "exchange phone number with <person>?" dialog ...
- dopkew 15y agoNokia phones have a method for such convenience. A contact stored in one phone can be sent to another phone as a special sms message called a 'Business Card'. When the other Nokia phone gets it, they can save the contact from the message view options. Of course, it's not free, or local (bluetooth).
- icebraining 15y agoMy Nokia can send contacts/business cards through Bluetooth, though. In fact, the Send menu lists SMS, MMS, e-mail, bluetooth and IR. Handy, but the problem is that you still need a number for SMS, and Bluetooth is damn slow, particularly if you're not paired with the other device.
- klausa 15y agoBluetooth supports vCards exchange, but it's much faster and arguably easier to do what GP said - one person spells their number, second person calls it.
