GTA:Phone

The phone is a very useful tool, and something that you will find yourself using a lot throughout your time on RPUK. Whether you're browsing Tweedle, or arranging deals, the phone will be something you come across a lot.

The phone can perform many different tasks. You can add contacts who can then later be called or send messages through SMS, you can browse and post on Tweedle, check your bank balance, and even take and save pictures straight from it.

Introduction

Upon opening your phone for the first time with F2 you will be greeted with your phone's homepage, here you will see all of the apps 'downloaded' to your phone. By default, the phone is navigated with your Arrow Keys to move around, Enter to select, and Backspace to go back. You can also press Esc or F2 to close the phone.

Settings

Upon entering the settings app, you will be greeted with a variety of different options and various information.

Options:

• Do Not Disturb - Stop your phone from getting in your way throughout important tasks. Remember to turn this off though, or you won't get any notifications!
• Volume - Turn your phone down so you don't deafen yourself.
• Mouse Control - You can instantly switch between using your phone through your arrow keys, to using your mouse to click & select the options that you're looking for! Mouse (Passthrough) means you can use mouse and move at same time.
• Ringtone - There are many ringtones that you can choose from, already selected and installed for you. However, you can customise this by getting an audio link and adding it to the Custom URL bar. Ensure that the link entered ends with .mp3.
• Zoom - The phone taking up too much of your screen? Go ahead and change the size within this setting.
• Airdrop username - This can be set to show the name of your phone when you send something via Airdrop.
• Phone Case - Choose your favourite phone type from the selection and receive a case matching that style.

• Wallpaper - RPUK have a selection of pre-set wallpapers installed to your phone, however if they are not enough for you, add a Custom URL & ensure that it is a .png or .jpeg link. You can do this by clicking "Copy Image URL" from where you are taking the image.
• Colour Theme - Choose what theme you want your apps to be. The almighty dark side. Or stay up all night light theme.
• RESET PHONE - NOTE: Resetting your phone will delete all contact, Tweedle accounts, wallpaper and ringtone settings, as well as all phone and text history. Only do this if you KNOW that you do not need this information.

Contacts

A phone wouldn't quite be complete without the ability to save phone numbers, to then call and text others around in the city. But luckily, you can do just that. Upon entering the Contacts app, you will be greeted with an option to add a new contact, as well as see all other contacts you have added previously.

Adding a Contact

Upon clicking "New Contact" you will be taken to a page with 4 boxes looking for information about your new contact. (Don't worry! You can edit this later!) The option that you will have are:

• Name:
• Phone Number:
• Description (what will help you remember them?):
• Avatar URL (add a picture to their contact profile!):

Once you have added the information you would like to save for them, click the green "Confirm" button and this will add them to your contact list.

Now that you have them added to your contacts, you can click on their name and you will be given a variety of different things that you can do with their contact, including call, text and edit.

Tweedle

This app is the central place of in-character communication within RPUK. If your character wants to meet new people, attend events, sell and buy items throughout Los Santos: he is going to want a Tweedle account. Tweedle allows everyone from all over Los Santos to communicate instantly, and will therefore allow your character to learn a lot about the city, that you will not be taught here ;)

Options:

Home:

The home page is effectively your live feed of what people are saying and doing throughout Los Santos.

Top Tweeds:

You can see what tweeds people have liked the most in the last couple of weeks. You can contribute to these likes or try to make a top tweed by reading the next option!

Post Tweed:

Here, you can post a tweed and add it to the live feed that was just explained, this can include a text input and/or an image URL. Remember to have a .png or .jpeg image URL!

Settings:

This is the core of Tweedle, and also the way that you create your account. Upon clicking the settings button, you will be met with another variety of options:

• Log In: Using details already created, you can log into your Tweedle account(s).
• Notifications: Change the way that you would like to receive notifications on Tweedle.
• Switch Account: Swap to a different account efficiently without having to log out and into your other accounts.

Once you have created your Tweedle account, go ahead and test out the Post Tweed feature and start your journey of making a name for yourself within Los Santos!

Skills

To begin with, your character will have no skills and needs to figure out how to level up their skills to gain access to multiple useful features on RPUK. Ask around, maybe even use the Tweedle app that we just learnt about to find out where to advance your skills? This app is useful to check you levelling for jobs such as mechanic, mining, smelting etc as you get access to certain features depending on your level.

Online Banking

When you are too far from a ATM. You can always trust your phone to have your debt.

Options:

Transfer:

Here is where you can send money to people. Just use their session id and how much. You can even add a note!

History:

Here you can see where your debt has come from. Maybe you shouldn't have brought that car.

Accounts:

If you own a business, you can also check their balance from here. Look at you rich person with a business.

Vehicle Manager

Do you have too many cars? Maybe too many friends who need a ride. Well look no further.

The vehicle manager is all you need.

Options:

Owned:

This shows you a list of all your cars. You can find out the plate and location of them. When clicking on one you also get options. The options are Copy Plate, Set Waypoint, Garage Transfer, Get Key (if you don't have already) and Cancel. They are what they say on the tin.

Keys:

This page shows you a list of all the keys you currently have and for what vehicle. When selecting you have the options of Copy Plate, Share Key, Delete Key and Cancel.

Work Finderz

Looking for work as a Commercial Delivery Driver? Well, the work finderz app can help.

Once the app is open you will see a list of jobs. The job listing will show the location to pick up and deliver as well as the price.

Finding a job is very easy, all you need to do is look for the job you want and click on it. This will then set your GPS to the location to start the order. This does not accept the order and anyone already there can still take the order.
