    so last night i tried to walk my gf through getting emoji on her iphone 3g via Spell Number
    we typed 9876543.21
    hit the home button
    went to settings>general>international>keyboard>japanese>
    and went to settings>general>keyboard>international keyboard>japanese
    no emoji option

    recently i read that apple does not want people outside of japan having access to this feature so they are not allowing any easter egg programs to be published and that apps such as spell number (would have to release updates)

    are we a victim of bad timing?

    i do not want to jailbreak

    I don't know why they don't allow anyone outside of Japan use emoji...

    Why don't you just jailbreak?

    a) i bought her the apple care
    b) she's not tech savy enough of an individual to make use of jailbreaking (which in the course negates A)
    c) we're on AT&T anyway, so if we were t-oh/no it would be a different story

    oh ok nvmd. I was thinking it may be a firmware issue, but she's on the current firmware, so I don't know. Sorry

    a) so? Its not going to void your warranty if you just restore to stock firmware before you take it in for an exchange.
    b) she doesn't have to do anything after she jailbreaks, just get the emoji.
    c) jailbreaking and unlocking are separate things. You don't need to be on another carrier to make use of jailbreaking.
