20070525 Upgrade to mobile phones

Seventythree 08:43, 25 May 2007 (BST)

Suggestion type
Change to existing equipment.

Suggestion scope
Survivors.

Suggestion description
Ok, for now mobile phones are pretty useless. I however, can see that there could be some real potential in them. Here is a list of minor alterations that I feel should be made.

  • Make the text that you input when sending a message more readable (ok, this may just be my computer resolution or something, but does anyone else find it nearly impossible to read what you're typing in?)
  • Have an Inbox with space for 10 messages (messages can be deleted for no AP cost)
  • Have a function by which you can, for an extra AP send the message to up to 10 people in your 'phonebook'
  • Include a signal bar. Just a little bit of text in the corner of the phone screen, like signal:good Or No signal
  • If youv'e sent a message to someone in a suburb with no powered mobile mast, you receve a text message that reads [name of recipicant] Message not received.

Come on, give us people who don't use forums and such a chance! Thanks to UncleBill for his enthusiasm in the idea.

  2. Keep - The power of SMS! --JudeMaverick W! TJ! Talk Zzz... P! 09:25, 25 May 2007 (BST)
  3. Keep - Minor, yet practical changes. Realistic. - BzAli 09:49, 25 May 2007 (BST)
  4. It's probably just your resolution that you can't read it...you can already send a message to multiple people at once, but all in all....this is a pretty good idea, I'll give you that keep you want. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 13:25, 25 May 2007 (BST)
  5. Keep - As above. Note: The text was readable before, but Kevan changed font... for some reason--Duke GarlandTLCD SSZ 16:09, 25 May 2007 (BST)
  6. Keep - If I vote yes do I get a free camera phone in exchange for a 2-year contract? And I have a question for Axe Hack on the discussion page. --Uncle Bill 16:48, 25 May 2007 (BST)
    RE Yes, you do. It's £40 a month contract and you get three texts free a year! --Seventythree 16:56, 25 May 2007 (BST)
  7. Keep - Seems like a great idea to me. It is about time the mobile phones got an update.--Madscientist816 18:41, 25 May 2007 (BST)
  8. Keep - Sounds all right. Why not? --Rgon 22:28, 25 May 2007 (BST)
  9. Keep - Welcomed changes. --ZombieSlay3rSig.pngT 22:59, 25 May 2007 (BST)
  10. Keep - I want to see a deeper-level of in-game coordination! This would be excellent. --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 02:22, 26 May 2007 (BST)
  11. Keep -As Dux. --Fippe 06:58, 26 May 2007 (BST)
  12. Keep --Why not? --'BPTmz 08:36, 26 May 2007 (BST)
  13. Keep - I like phone. --Target Zombie 01:12, 27 May 2007 (BST)
  14. Keep - I'd change it so that when your contact receives a message, you get a "message received" notification --Gene Splicer 11:15, 27 May 2007 (BST)
  15. Keep - helps to decrease the amount of meta gaming necessary.--Vista +1 15:05, 27 May 2007 (BST)
  16. Keep -I like it when old tools have a use again. Plus it puts more of the game back into the game itself instead of outside forums. Now if only we can find a use for wire cutters again... --Slowwber 22:36, 27 May 2007 (BST)
  17. Keep - Good idea but when the SMS is sent to a player in no-mobile-mast suburb he would recieve the SMS when he enters a suburb with a mobile mast. That't the way it works in real life anyway. --Murhapuro 13:15, 31 May 2007 (BST)
    RE Thankyou! I knew I forgot something. Shame it's too late to change it now.--Seventythree 15:33, 2 June 2007 (BST)
  18. Keep - No reason to be against this. --Matthew Fahrenheit YRC☺T☺+1 00:38, 2 June 2007 (BST)
  19. Keep - Adds some much needed improvements to cell phones. --Sonofagun18 11:27, 2 June 2007 (BST)
  20. Keep - Makes it a useful item again, which can't do any harm. Werewolf32 15:54, 7 June 2007 (BST)
  21. Keep - A few practical updates to the mobile to improve in-game communication. armareum 09:51, 8 June 2007 (BST)
  22. Keep - This would be great for those of us who dislike metagaming. --Tolthalan 13:26, 9 June 2007 (BST)
  23. Keep WTF not? --Secruss 01:26, 10 June 2007 (BST)
  24. Keep I haven't received a message from anybody ever since they got radios and transmitters. This would put the Mobile Phone back with the essential items.--Jim Vulcan 20:57, 12 June 2007 (BST)
  25. Keep Pretty much the most kickass suggestion EVAR!--Priz 06:13, 13 June 2007 (BST)

Kill Votes

  1. Kill - Or you could get your contacts e-mail addresses. What you are asking for is, essentially, a mini-email thing in the game. There are outside ways to do this which are far more developed than anything that could be put in UD. --Saluton 14:26, 25 May 2007 (BST)
    RE Perhaps I should have made it clearer, but part of the reason for this is to improve communication without metagaming. People may not want to give out their email adresses for whatever reason, or may feel that it is againgst the spirit of the game. After all you might as well say that any in-game communication is useless as you could just communicate through email.--Seventythree 14:43, 25 May 2007 (BST)
