It depends on which Vodafone. The company uses a lot of different software
(I think worldwide they use something like a dozen different operating
systems), but if the software uses the Vodafone VSCL 1.1 service class
libraries or newer, it should be UTF-8 friendly.ã(At the very least, the
Java manifest and JAD files it uses are UTF-8 text files.)

As for DoCoMo, I tested UTF-8 successfully on an older F504iS model as well
as a newer FOMA model.
