Unable to add .vcf / vcard files to RC contacts
When I receive a .vcf or vcard file (i.e. someone shares a contact record from their cell phone) via an inbound text message to my RingCentral number, I can't open the file or directly add that contact, without going to a desktop and opening via another software.
For example, with my iphone, if someone sent me a text with a person's contact record (as a .vcf file), I could open the contact record right from the text message application and add the newly received contact record directly to my iphone contacts.
Now, when someone sends that exact same message to me via my RingCentral number, I can't open the file on my phone, can't add it to my RingCentral contacts, or do anything else useful with it until I log into RingCentral.com, download the file to my computer, then open via 3rd party application and manually type it into my contact list on RingCentral.
That seems like a major step backward in technology! Am I missing something here? If not, where is the solution on the roadmap?
