Enabling emoticons on your iPhone is actually pretty easy. Trevor showed me how a few days ago and since then people have been asking, so I thought I'd post the instructions.
Note: Only people with iPhones will be able to see these. People with unsupported mobile phones will just see blank squares (based on the tests I've done).
1. Open the App Store and download "Spell Number - Emoji for FREE"
2. Open the Spell Number app and enter the following code: 91929394.59
(UPDATE: Ignore the picture and use code: 91929394.59)
3. Close the Spell Number app and then go to:
Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards > Japanese
4. Turn Emoji on
5. Close Settings and open up Text Messaging
6. You will now see a globe icon next to the spacebar on the keyboard. Select the globe and you will see emoticons that you can select.

hi!
This no longer appears to work. I followed the above steps, but when I got to the japanese keyboards, I did not see the Emoji one. :( Any ideas?
Thanks!
Try to use the numbers:
91929394.59
Then go to Settings, General, Keyboard, International.
Next to JAPANESE there will be an >
click it.
And set EMOJI to ON.
** WARNING ** Only works on iphones that have the emoji emoticon set. On other phones, they receive NOTHING - not even an :-)

Why am I not getting all of the emoji ones. All I get are a few smileys when I tap the globe?
