Virtual Card (VCARD) Container is an enhanced method and device for displaying VCARDs that includes a display of the VCARD file along with the graphical chart of the enterprise to allow recipients of the VCARDs to readily distinguish cards from two separate individuals at two separate enterprises. The VCARD Container allows the display of highly graphical VCARDs corresponding to the employee's enterprise during a communication between two parties. These VCARDs will be easily recognizable by the recipient of a phone call, for example, and when displayed, they will appear similar to a paper business card.
