Short description: New functionalities & possible appearance for smartphones. Showing missed calls and SMS, the phone itself idling in the bottom right corner once taken out and passcode entered. Detailed description: I thought I might take some time and suggest a little overhaul for the current phone system. Smartphones to be exact. At the moment, you receive a text message and get notified once. That's it. You get called, all you see is that your phone popped up and have to navigate to the call history. My suggestion would be: Making the phone idling in the bottom right corner like this, where you would be able to see any missed calls or texts. Missed call: SMS: Missed call(s) and SMS: With that you'd also be able to access the phone by pressing F3 and click on it. That way it could slide up and you'd have full access to it. I have two examples that I found online on Youtube videos which can be seen here: This would somewhat modernize the phone as well and it would also play along with what I'll suggest right down below. Possible appearance change: As of now there is no difference between all the phone models available. Which makes you just want to buy a iPhone3 and be done with it. So here's my second suggestion; Giving every phone model ingame a custom appearance. This would motivate players to actually buy different phone models in the future and it could have more functionalities available, like apps you can get on a iPhoneX but not on a iPhone3. For example: Banking apps. (replacing /banktransfer) Advertising/Market app. (replacing /ad and/or /cad&/bad) (has been added) Vehicle Tracker. (replacing /antitheft) Food Delivery apps. Taxi/Uber apps. The list is endless. Commands to add: POSSIBLY a command to charge your phone in the future. At home or in your car. Items to add: Only phone models. How would your suggestion improve the server? It would be a big change for the server, especially for people who use smartphones on a daily. Which is..pretty much everyone. Additional information: Sliding out a phone or receiving a call doesn't necessarily have to break your current animation like, sitting, smoking, leaning, whatever. Only when the player is idling. Also worth pointing out, since it could be released with the phone overhaul itself: I'm sure there's tons of options on how the Dev team could improve our phones in the future, so I kindly ask to keep suggestions/additions short and clean so it'll be easier for the team to look things over. I'll also see that I include your suggestions and ideas to this post. Thank you! Suggestions/Ideas from the comments: Ringtones. Disabling forced animation when being called. A notification in chat when a phone is ringing. (/dolow, /mylow, /ame) Ability to take notes on the phone. Taking pictures with the phone, sending them over the phone. Ability to hide the phone via F7 or command for screenshots.
