Nearing the end of nursing school - we’ve been exchanging a lot of contact info in our class chat, but it’s becoming a clusterfuck of that mixed with other random messages…

I’m wondering if pull all that data into its own list, if I can then convert that list into Google Calling Cards or something that can be loaded in bulk onto my and my classmate’s phones.

There are around 100 of us, and we’ve got a pretty even split of iphone and android users… idk if Calling Cards or iphone’s equivalent are compatible with the other OS.

I could make the contact list individually on my own phone, but sharing it with my classmates is the main goal, and it’d be way less tedious to do this on my desktop and import it later… but I’m not aware of any way to actually do that.

Open to all suggestions!

    I always thought this is what Vcards were ment to solve. Cross platform way of sharing contact info.

      This looks promising! Looks like I can save individual vcf files using Outlook, but I can’t figure out how to export an entire contact list in one file. In the contact group in Outlook, there’s a ‘forward group’ button that has an export as vfc or outlook file, but the vcf just exports it as a .txt and the the outlook export is… idk what it is… there’s no file extension…?

      Neither the .txt or extensionless file seem to be recognized by my phone - it opens the .txt to plain text, and doesn’t recognize the other.

      Did I do something stupid?

        Try .vcf Verify the content by opening it with a text editor. Compare with the individual file that already worked for you.
