A system for providing management of contact records includes a contact record that is associated with an initiator and is indexed by a phone number of the originator. To initiate delivery of the contact record of the originator, the originator enters a phone number of a recipient and a subset of the fields of the contact record are transmitted to a device of the recipient where they are stored in the recipient's contact list. When changes are made to the contact record, the recipient device will receive updated information. Features are provided for automatic deletion of the subset of fields from the recipient device upon request or after a specified time period. Features are provided for selecting the subset of fields based upon a restriction such as family, co-worker, acquaintance, friend, stranger, etc.
