Compatibility Issue(?) - Note 2 and IP5

[BratPAQ]

I am having issues receiving SMS from my friend using an IP5. Since we are both non-technical people, I am not sure if the issue is with her phone or mine. I have other friends using IP but I don't get the error messages below. I can't see the smilies on the SMS she sends me. I attached a screenshot using the Note 2's default SMS and goSMS. Do I need to install or configure something?

since you ae using goSMS already, why not try to install this add-on for goSMS?
