Phones

Buying and using a phone

A phone is a regular inventory item you buy at LS Electronics (-1083, -252) — LifeInvader campus, Rockford Hills.

ENEMY Lite $150 — the new-player phone. Same apps. ENEMY OG $500 — nicer hardware, no extra features.

You can only carry ONE phone, whichever brand. It is NOT soulbound — a phone can be dropped, given away, or taken off your body. Your phone NUMBER lives on your character, not on the item, so a new handset keeps your number and a stolen one doesn't take it.

Opening it

Use the phone item from your inventory. There is no /phone command and no keybind.

Apps

Only five come pre-installed: App Store, Phone, Messages, Contacts, Settings. Everything else you install yourself from the App Store — including 911. Worth grabbing early:

  • Bank — balance, transfers, IBAN
  • Jobs — every legal job and where to sign on
  • 911 — calling the police/EMS
  • Market — player-to-player listings
  • Housing — property listings
  • Insurance — sign up for health, claim vehicle
  • Garage — where your cars are
  • Stats — your own numbers, nobody else's
  • ENEMY — the social feed
  • Services, Discord, Calendar, Notes, Calculator

Two more install themselves only while you hold the job: Taxi (ride offers) and the Police PDA.

Reading notifications

Pull down the status bar inside the phone UI to see missed calls, unread SMS, and app notifications merged in one feed. Tap a row to deep-link into the source app.

Premium brands (planned)

A premium variant (ENEMY X) exists but isn't on sale here — it's gated behind a real-money purchase. Lite and OG stay the in-game options and lose you nothing.
