Default Getting emoticons to show up on MY SMS - 07-08-2008, 11:50 AM

My boyfriend is always sending me kisses and from his phone they are an emoticon, but they show up oin my Pearl as :-*
I sent him a smiley face just now as : and ) and it showed up on his phone as an emoticon.
Now I paid alot more for my phone than he did for his, so why won't the emoticons show up on my phone? and is there anyway to make them do so? Or to make it easier for me to send them instead of entering in the characters? (I looked at the Berricons program that I found while searching this subject on this site, but it says that it sends characters and that the faces how up as TEXT. Or if his phone supports emoticons, will it show up as emoticaons?)
Thanks for the help.

SMS text messages are... text.

Perhaps he is using some interface that translates those to HTML emoticons...the BB does not.

When I was trying it out if someone sent you the berricons would convert it to the emotion of the smiley face. Same with you sending something out. It would show the emotion but on their end it would send , so if their phone shows the emotions then they would get the smiley face instead of the .

There are a couple faces on that program that don't work on other phones but it's not too bad of a program if you really want those smiley faces

All those faces are : and )
