What is the NFC Card and Keyring?
The NFC Card and Keyring are premium, metal-based networking tools embedded with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. They allow you to share your contact details seamlessly by simply tapping on a compatible phone. The NFC card also includes a QR code for added convenience.
What is vCard?
vCard, also known as VCF (Virtual Contact File), is a file format standard for electronic business cards. vCards can be downloaded to another user's phone through NFC or QR code (example, with the NFC card or keyring that you have). Besides, it can also be attached to e-mail messages, sent via Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), on the World Wide Web, instant messaging. They can contain name and address information, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, URLs, logos, photographs, and audio clips. Source: Wiki
