The iPhone creates a call log of all the incoming and outgoing calls that are made from the phone. From the phone log, you can create a new contact from the list or you can create a contact under the "Contact" icon on the iPhone. The iPhone allows you to share contact information via text whether you have the contact saved in the contact portion of the iPhone or if it is a call listing in the call log of your iPhone.
