Ridiculous! I give my phone to the other person and ask
them to dial my number and call me. Now we both have a
record of each others' phone numbers.

SIP URIs and home addresses are too long (an IPv6 address
is 16 bytes long and random looking, a SIP URI can be very
long e.g. up to 30 characters and even more with a random
part for privacy).

I would appreciate comments on this. Maybe we should move
to the mailing list if you are interested?

>3. Face-to-face contact is not always available

I can't believe that I'm reading this in an email message.
Some people put their phone number in the signature block.
Others type it in when requested. Most mobile devices have
a way to sync a phonebook with a PC. Job done.

I don't understand.

Seems to me that you have only one real problem and we
can adress that (number 1 above) by simply doing nothing.

I really don't understand.

P.S. I did design a method vaguely similar to this for exchanging
contact information between mobile phone users that required the
support of the mobile network operator.


I would be interested. Is there an I-D or something?
