SMS in Japanese (Samsung Galaxy S3 mini)

Anonymous

When I send SMS in Japanese, the receiver has garbled characters, like ????. According to some information on the web, it does not seem the problem of the device. Does O2 support sending Japanese text? Or, should I do something on my device before texting in Japanese? Please help.

Has the receiver got Japanese language support enabled on their phone?

Yes. They can receive texts in Japanese from other people, but not from me.

Looking at the S3mini manual page 106 it would seem you have to select the Japanese  language in settings for text input.

 

Another way round it, never tried this but Google have an online translation service that you could possibly get to work by typing the message and pasting it after translation

 

If I get chance will have a play with the phone later

Thank you. However, I can write messege in Japanese. Nevertheless, any text in Japanese become ???????? when a receiver receives it.
