Abstract
A history list is used to automatically track where communications facilitation data, in the form of a communications facilitation data card, has been sent. When a communications facilitation data card is changed, the changed communications facilitation data card is automatically sent to all the previous sendees as indicated by the history list. This method applies both when the user changes their own communications facilitation data card and when a communications facilitation data card has been relayed by the user to a third party and an updated version of that communications facilitation data card is received. The maintenance of the history list and communications facilitation data cards are preferably performed in a personal communications assistant device and the sending is preferably via a wireless communications system. This method of handling communications facilitation data cards reduces errors and burden on the user when communications facilitation data cards are updated.
