Copy and paste info from contact list to text message

There is a free solution on AppStore.

I cannot believe that Apple didn't include this functionality in 3.0. So far, CopyContact is the best solution out there.

If you hit edit on the contact and go to the address information you can select the address and copy it to the clip board, which will then allow you to paste it into a text message.

At this time, no option exists to share the information directly to an SMS message. That being said, when AT&T supports MMS on the iPhone later this summer, the option will exist to share a contact via MMS messaging.

There seems to be a fundamental flaw here - iPhone as ever tries to be super clever, so if you are looking at a contact where you want to copy and paste the address into an email for example, you try to double tap the address details, but instead of copying, on the first click it spins off into trying to show the location in Google maps - with no opportunity to override.

You are right, you can hit 'edit' to get to the address info - but then it is one line at a time - ARRGH!

Too bloomin smart sometimes. There must be a way to copy and paste the address as one chunk of info - isn't there??

Strange you guys in the states are behind the curve regarding MMS. We can do this in the UK (share via MMS).....we usually get everything after you guys!!

It's funny how in a way you say that. LOL Yea we are a little behind but I hope that the wait is worth it. It hasn't been easy for some people to wait, specially this forum has been overloaded with question about it. We are very close to release date although no one knows when it will be available but it is funny that we don't have it.

There is not. The method I described is the only current method.
