How to Transfer Contact Using the Mac Address Book?

The Mac OS X default Address Book program is automatically Bluetooth aware. If Bluetooth hardware is installed on your Mac, a Bluetooth icon is visible in the OS X Address Book program's main window. You can click the Bluetooth icon to connect the Address Book application to your paired phone (specifically, the one you chose to use with the Address Book when you paired). If no phone is paired, you can select one of the Bluetooth phones in range. Such pairing allows the Mac computer to dial phone numbers, receive and redirect calls, and send and receive Short Message Service (SMS) messages via the phone.

To send a contact in the Address Book to a phone as a business card, first choose the contact, select the Card Send This Card menu item, and then choose the recipient device from the Bluetooth device list.

The Card Send This Card option is not available if Bluetooth hardware is not installed on the Mac.

On the phone, when you open the message, you'll see its contents. Choose Options Save business card to save it to the Contacts list. Please note that when you use Mac Bluetooth to send business cards, the thumbnail image and the Note field in the Mac Address Book are lost.
