Again, these may be about missions, they may relate to the general story, they may be tips from other characters, or they may serve no particular purpose — for example, the prank calls CJ receives from [[Catalina]]. The phone's design is that of an early flip-phone, with a small display for numbers. | ||

*In GTA IV the second model of the phone can be customized with themes and ringtones from websites. On the streets of the Liberty City random pedestrians will sometimes take out their phones to receive a call. If you look closely at the civilians phone, you will notice that the theme on their phone's screen will be the same as your current phone theme. | *In GTA IV the second model of the phone can be customized with themes and ringtones from websites.

*In [[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], the protagonists of each ([[Johnny Klebitz]] and [[Luis Fernando Lopez]]) also have phones the player can use in the same way Niko's is used. Each character has a different type of phone than the others, and Johnny and Luis each have a unique theme for their phones. [[Johnny Klebitz]]'s phone is more rounded than [[Niko Bellic]]'s rectangular phone and the numbers on the keypad are more separated due to each number being on a separate button, whereas the numbers on Niko's phone use a "key strip" layout used on phones like the Motorola Razor. Johnny's phone has a unique "Lost MC" theme featuring [[The Lost Motorcycle Club]]'s patch. [[Luis Fernando Lopez]]'s phone appears to be more high-end than Niko and Johnny's phones and is round, similar to Johnny's, and has a glowing blue keypad and a unique "Club" theme. | *In [[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], the protagonists of each ([[Johnny Klebitz]] and [[Luis Fernando Lopez]]) also have phones the player can use in the same way Niko's is used.
