This article details how you can add emojis to your SMS. There are a few different ways that you can do this depending on where in the web platform you are composing your message.

Note:

  • Sending emojis depends on the recipient network's ability to support them.
  • If the recipient network doesn't support emojis, they'll be stripped out.
  • Using Emoji changes the encoding of the message to Unicode - emojis are counted as 2 Unicode Characters each.
