Emojitrans translates texts that include emojis and emoticons into ascii and relays the text. This enables sending emojis and emoticons in texts to friends whom may not have emojis/emoticons (those Android users…).
Send a text message (to the twilio number) with emojis to your friend:
Whatup [some emojis] more emojis [more emojis]::[your friend’s number]
And it your friend will will recieve those emojis as ascii in a text from twilio number:
translated emoji from [your number] || Whatup [some emojis as ascii] more emojis [more emojis as ascii]
And you get confirmation:
Great! send yout translated emoji to [your friends number] || Whatup [some emojis as ascii] more emojis [more emojis as ascii]
