alpha7610 Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Phonebooth. Option to call from a phonebooth. Might be impossible to ran out of charge but it happens. Phone upgrades. Wide ranges of phone brands. ( Battery drain depends on the model ) Battery Percentage. LED indicators on the phone. RED - unread message. BLUE - unanswered call. Unanswered call history list to show and be able to see if you accidently don't pick up your phone ! ( History of calls will not be visible if you don't pick up ) Be able to call from reading the text message instead of make a new phone contact without knowing the person. Credits in the phone such as 50 credits = 25/50 $. ( Free calls to 911 or mechanic ) 1 SMS cost 1 credit. 1 phone call costs 2 credits. Option to top up by [ Contract or top up cards ] ( Very hard to hear SMS sounds and sometimes you just accidently ignore them) Edited August 26, 2021 by alpha7610 more text to add 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shurples Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) I like the phonebooth suggestion and support it! I think it gets a little complicated when adding multiple brands of phones though, I think what we've got now is good enough with a little adjustments made along the way. I do think missed calls & texts should show up as a notification, I think any new notification could also show up in a notification box like in the picture below (perhaps the phone moves up slightly when you receive a call/text). I would also like to suggest a weazel news app, this could be another way to show ads, the magazines could be posted on there and it could be used as a new way to contact them, it would be nice to have communication with a news reporter before they arrive. Another thing would be adding a camera, also allowing for contact photos you can set for each contact. Maybe also upgrade life invader, would love to use that more often! Oh also add timestamps to texts! Edited August 17, 2023 by Shurples 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Raven Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 +1 Especially to a news feed by weazle, perhaps the addition of twitter or classified ads for people selling services or looking for something/someone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowick Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) +1 for new phone updates, but not different types of phones. Pay phones should be added, but scarce around the city. It should not be a convenient thing to use. The MAIN things I want for my phone in eclipse are: Picture messages. This would be so useful, and very fun for everyone. The is probably my most requested phone feature. Time stamps and editable names from inside a text message. Newest texts should be at the top of my list. A weazel news app. I mean we are still using /newsagency. Why. Edited May 18, 2022 by Willowick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossjay1 Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Notifications and timestamps would be amazing. Also the Twitter and classified ads idea is brilliant too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the unread message option for this and the weazel news app option. this would be a fun and useful feature as I often don't notice texts. maybe a highlighted text when its one you haven't read too? But the phone brand thing, I agree, might be too complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
