#Getting a phone
Go to Rita by the Bank of Night City in Downtown and press E: she gives you a phone, and you get a number. The phone is a personal item: you can't throw it away, give it away or lose it.
#Your number
- The number has 7 digits, like 548-27-13. It's unique and stays with your character for good.
- You can see your number in the phone's settings (tap it to copy) and with the
/phonechat command. - The phone never shows a character's name: only the number, or the name you saved the contact under yourself.
#Using the phone
- The ↑ arrow key takes the phone out and puts it away. Esc puts it away too.
- If someone calls while the phone is in your pocket, ↑ answers the call right away.
- You can't use the phone while unconscious or in handcuffs.

#GPS
The GPS app knows every place on the server.
- Search by name, and categories: banks, food, bars, clinics, gun shops, car dealerships and more.
- Lists sorted by distance: the nearest places come first.
- A place's card: name, district, distance and direction.
- “Set a mark” puts a mark on the map. “Plot a route” opens the game's map with the route drawn, and the route line stays visible while you drive.
- Favorites and recent places.
- Gas stations: a category of their own, listed by distance and by the price a liter, and in a car a “Nearest gas station” button.
#Bank
The app shows your card, your account, cash and deposit, the latest transactions and the nearest branch and ATM.
- With an active bank card you can send money here by a card or phone number (take the number from your contacts), read the statement, top up the deposit and pay fines and for a hotel room.
- Without a card you see only your money and the statement. You get a card at any branch of the bank.
- You can block a lost card right in the app.
More on the Money and the bank page.
#Settings
- Your phone number: tap it to copy.
- “Do not disturb”: callers get “Unavailable”, and you get a missed call. Messages still come in as usual, but ad pop-ups are hidden.
- Five wallpapers to choose from, and the ringtone volume.
- The phone's language follows the interface language you set in F2.
