Mobile Phone

The cell phone is a portable phone that has been carried by the Protagonist of the Grand Theft Auto games since Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The phone is usually used to communicate with other characters without being in person, but its use has been expanded in GTA IV.

• In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Tommy Vercetti receives missions from his cell phone as well as calls from in-game characters about random things.

• In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, CJ has a cell phone and frequently gets tips from other characters.

The use of the cell phone is greatly expanded in Grand Theft Auto IV. Niko can use the phone (given to him during the second mission) to call his friends and girlfriends to hang out. Use of the phone can also trigger certain missions. The theme and ringtone of the phone can be changed via a website on the in-game internet. The two phones held by Niko at different stages of the game are Badger and Whiz.
