Problem with seeing emojis on iPhone?

I have the iPhone 5s. US.Cellular is my carrier. I can send emojis to other people and they can see them, but I can only see them if iMessage is working. I did not download an app, I went under settings, general, international, and selected emoji.

As long as you turn it on in your settings, that should be all you have to do.

  • What is Sprint1x, and why am I just now seeing it? I've updated my iPhone 5 to ios 7 and I have always gotten LTE siginals mostly in my house, occasional 3G and something I've never seen which is Sprint 1x, it is super slow, slower than 3G. I know there's Sprint O connections which is basically useless. Why hadn't sprint shown this before? I'm getting 1x where I used to get 3G siginals.
