Why will my phone not send emojis?

[AC Question]

I use the standard emoji app which came with my phone, (samsung galaxy s4 mini ) no matter what i do emojis refuse to send in an sms. It comes up with "Converting to multimedia message..." It's done this since i got my phone a couple of years ago.

Have you tried third party emoji keyboards like fleksy or swift ? If the problem occurs with those keyboards as well then try making a wink or smiley and see if the receiver gets the android faced smiley or wink !
