VCard's are in simple text. Nokia phones requires a special UDH. Ericsson's don't.

If you want to send, set udh=%06%05%04%23%F4%00%00 for nokia and empty udh for
ericsson, and set text=<see example downthere>

If you want to receive, you'll need a "catchall" service that forwards %a to
your server, and you can ignore udh field - that way you'll receive from nokia
and ericsson.

Your server needs to parse vcard and reply back acordly.

Please have a look at contrib/web/*.php


Example vcard: 
(Note: with old nokias, like 6210, you can only set maximum two fields from
email, label and note. If you set the three, it will ignore your message. I
haven't tried with new mobiles)
Note2: newlines are %0D%0A, and you need a newline after last line
(....END:VCARD%0D%0A)
