Phone Improvements - Erev - 12-22-2018

General idea thread. Here are mine:

Make microphone components able to listen into both sides of phone conversations if standing atop one.

Calls should continually remove funds from your bank account while connected, and the calls should drop out fairly frequently.

  1.  Payphones in public areas
  2. Answering machines for leaving a message
  3. 80's style mobile phones for VIP's like the Captain or HoS
  4. Being able to snip a line with wire cutters, and repair them with wire
  5. NPC Telemarketers

heres an idea - gunshots or explosions that can be heard through the phone line? maybe with colours to make it harder to fake with plain text? *BANG* *BOOM*

Guns through phones is not happening. Nobody would answer phones if thats a risk!

Actual content: Ability to hide your phone from the phonebook, so you can make calls out but none can come in and vice-versa

Speaker phone would be nice, having the handset act like a microphone when not in hand.

Faxmachines for sending documents across phone lines

Give the AI a phone line and an AI verb to take/make calls
