Turns out this feature is currently implemented using MMS.

I might add that in some/most european countries sending MMS still costs a fortune and its acceptance is around 0.

Usually phones either send vcards via SMS or allow the user to choose between sending it via SMS or MMS. In case of SMS, obviously there's no image attached.
