A Guide to Using Your Cell Phone
« on: April 21, 2013, 04:17:09 PM »
Are you one of the people who purchased a Cell Phone but you don't know jack shit about how to use it? Keep on reading, I'll go through everything with pics for ya.

The Basics:

To Bring up your phone on the screen, press P. You should get an IPhone-like interface pop up in the bottom right corner of your screen. To navigate the cell phone you will have to use your mouse cursor. To bring that up, press and hold Z. Below is a legend of what you can and can't click.

Click to see the original size.

The Button at the top is how you close your cell phone.

The Button at the Bottom is the Home Button and will take you back to this screen when you click it.

Settings:

This was probably the first thing I noticed when I brought up my phone. Just click on it to access it. (Make sure you are also holding down Z to make the mouse cursor work!)

Click to see the original size.

First off, you have ringtones, which is "unavailable on your device"  ::).

Next up is Wallpaper, which does indeed work, just find one you like and select it. It will bring you back to the homescreen once you select what you want.

Click to see the original size.

This is much better than the shitty default one

Click to see the original size.

Note: The wallpaper is not saved upon Disconnection. So you have to set it back up everytime.

Last and absolutely least is the volume, which is also unavailable making it just as dumb as ringtones. MOVING ON...

The Phone Book:

This is probably the coolest part about the phone. Instead of having to type out shit as a pm, you can now actually voice chat with people across the map.

First things first, click on the Phone Icon. If you have difficulty finding it, look for your system32 folder instead, and delete that. (In all seriousness, it's back on the home screen.)

When you do that, you have options as follows:

Click to see the original size.

1. All players

Choose from anyone in the server to call, some may not have a cell phone so when you try to call them you will get a hint telling you they don't own one.

2. Organization *Does Not Currently Work AFAIK*

Choose from any player who is in your org and is currently in the server to call. Just like with All players though, you can only call people who own a cell phone.

3. Buddies

What the fuck else do you think this is here for? Call yo buddies you have added in the server. FYI though, Buddies do not save on disconnection.

4. Steam Friends *Does not work atm*

Basically, you'll be able to call anyone on your friends list on steam that is also in the server.

5. Emergency Call

Clicking this will call a random Police officer that you can talk to.

Messaging:

Probably the simplest feature of the phone. Go back to your home screen to select the messaging icon which is located next to the phone icon. After you do that, this window will pop up.

Click to see the original size.

Pretty straightforward here. Just type in the name of you want to send a message to, type in your message, and away you go.

Note: it costs $5 per message you send, $3 if you're a gold or VIP member, and it comes directly from your bank account (In game, not real life(although I'm sure the CG owners would love that :P)).

Well, that's the end of the guide, hope this helps.

Very nice guide. Also, I'm pretty sure an emergency call connects you to whoever is playing as dispatch and not an officer as sometimes when I've called it gives me a notification there's no dispatch.

Very nice guide, well detailed too.
I didn't know about the wall papers so thanks for that!

Figures ::) , I'm guessing when ringtones become available you can actually place your own in a folder and use them. (That's what I'm hoping for, anyways).

That is not available yet, but you can add a person to your buddies and call them via the buddies menu

As soon as the new patch applies (when restart), this is fixed.

actually, I was playing at around 2 pm last night on server one and it seems to already be fixed.

I assume we're talking about the scrolling, right?

Then why did you make it sound like it wasn't applied yet? :/

When I replied, I was not aware that the update had how live. I was only told afterwards, that it was applied long time ago.
