Some computers were made usable in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], [[The Lost and Damned]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]; these computers are found at [[TW@|TW@ internet cafes]], some safehouses, and one as part of the GTA IV mission [[Wrong is Right]].  In GTA IV and its expansions, computers are only used for the [[Internet in GTA IV|in-game web]] and email; in GTA Chinatown Wars, computers are only used for email and wi-fi play.

In GTA IV and [[The Lost and Damned]], TVs can be [[Television|watched]]. TVs are made by [[Panoramic]] and [[ThriftEX]]. These companies also manufacture DVD players (unusable by the player), which are commonly found alongside their TV counterparts at safehouses.

Mobile phones or cell phones are seen in many GTA games, but only became actively usable by the player in the [[GTA IV Era]]; in GTA IV and its expansions, the player can use phones to make and receive calls, receive or reply to SMS/MMS messages, adjust in-game settings, access cheats, and enter online multiplayer mode.  Some models of phone can take photos, which can be sent to characters as part of certain missions.  Known mobile phone carriers include [[Whiz]], [[Badger]], [[Squid]] and [[Tinkle]]; the only known models of mobile phone are the [[BitterSweet]], [[Fruit Computers|iFruit]] and [[Sumo]]. In GTA IV and [[The Lost and Damned]], extra ringtones and wallpapers for mobile phones can be downloaded at [[Vipluxuryringtones.com]].

In GTA Chinatown Wars, a [[Panoramic]] PDA takes the place of a mobile phone.  Although calls cannot be made, emails can be sent, GPS (including waypoints) can be accessed, radio stations can be selected, weapons can be ordered online, and wi-fi can be accessed.
