can't send smilies to iphone

[jdawest]

I have the HTC Inspire, my first Android phone so I'm new to Android, and my wife and daughter both have Iphone 3gs's. When I try to send them smilies in messages, all they get is garbage. I see the smilies they send me. I have tried the stock message software, handcent with the emoji plugin and now Gosms. nothing works. any ideas?

Handcent with emoji is working for me sending to my wife's 3gs.choose to send as SMS not MMS.

If I receive a emoticon from someone not on Android, it won't come through as an emoticon. Like this: will come through looking like : D minus the space obviously.

thanks for the replies, Redneck Batman, how do you choose to send as SMS instead of MMS? I dont see that option.
