vCard is not proprietary, it's an open standard. It's the folks who
*aren't* supporting vCards who are trying to foist proprietary
technologies on people.
I hardly use text messages and therefore don't prepay for them in my
plan. I don't care to pay for the privilege of sending a phone number
to my telephone, when I'm paying for internet and should be able to
download numbers for free directly into my Contacts.
Not to mention the fact that the vCard contains all the contact
information (name, address, phone number, etc.) in an instantly
saveable format, and the text message from SwitchBoard contains nothing
but the phone number -- everything else, you'd need to enter by hand.
