People say it can be done with an iPhone, using third party software. That’s all I know about the subject as I have never used any of these tools. IOS itself (or at least the iOS contacts app) does not support vCard scanning, hence the existence of several third party apps to do it specifically for vCards.

You would need an app to write them and an app to read them. They are available in the App Store for iPhone. You can buy the tags to write them to on Amazon or other online stores.

Thanks Michael for answer, the iPhone device read without problems NFC Tags, app no need to read, the matter is when I try with Vcards. If I store URL on card iPhone read it fine, but if I store vcard on card iphone doesn't read it... testing with others phones like android they read vcard with NFC fine... Then I think that there is any option to make it works with iPhones....
