I must shamefully admit that I have never noticed the # (pound) problem... It is slightly more complicated: it seems that Orange-Walla expects a hex ascii value after the #. It does not work for many characters and when it doesn't, it causes the message to be silently dropped, as you reported. Thus, your solution might be the sanest one. I could not reproduce your problem with quotes and double quotes. they arrive finely to my phone. I would like to thank the orange subscriber who helped me find the pattern.
