Prison payphone functioning with stamps

[Yputi]

Hello!

As some might know, in the DOC cell block there are physical payphones, but they don't actually work. I am thinking that maybe actually have these payphones work, inmates paying with stamps for x amount of phone time.
I would personally imagine some sort of system like parking tickets, where you use a command to buy a parking ticket for the price based on the amount of time you want. The inmate then would be able to use some sort of basic UI to put in phone numbers during the time their timer is running. Numbers such as 6666, 911, etc should be excluded form this I believe. After the timer finished, the call ends (if they were in any) and the inmate could then buy more phone time and they would have to call again. Inmates would have to make sure they don't use all their stamps on phone calls, so they would also have to do some yard work eventually.


I am hoping to see what others think, mainly players that have a character that has been in DOC a lot.

 I really like this and feel it could provide the inmates with more rp ops

This would be a neat feature, it's imperative that 911 doesn't work on it, though.

i like it! i agree with the doctor, though, its crucial 911 and 6666 and other lines like that don't work. +1

A Massive +1 on this suggestion, I believe it would add a lot of dynamic RP with it.

Would be good if these worked throughout the city as a matter of fact, this way criminals could RP sending anonymous phone calls to one another using the payphone system to carry out illegal drugs deals/illegal sales over all. Insert a certain amount of cash for a certain amount of minutes to seconds. +1 from me!

I think this would be a great idea. It would create alot of more new RP scenes.
