How do you type in a phone number in Grand Theft Auto IV?

Answer 1

Some notes regarding the use of Niko's cell phone on GTA IV (PS3):

For Niko's cell phone on GTA IV (for the PS3): If you click up once on the directional button you get the "Whiz" screen. Then press "X" to get the main menu screen, which lists:

Phonebook (listing short dial for friends and associates)

Messages (showing any text messages received)

Organizer (for appointments etc.)

Camera

Multiplayer

Options (for changes to Ringtone, Keypad tone, Sleep Mode)

SIXAXIS Tutorial

Press "X" to select the required item.

If you want Niko to dial a number, including cheat codes, press the directional button upwards twice, and you will get the blank screen ready for number input. Use the directional button to go to the numbers you require, pressing "X" to select each number, then select the telephone icon on the left hand side to ring that number.

To enter cheat codes:

Enter cheats during normal gameplay. Find the cheat you want to enter, activate Niko's cell phone as above and put in the numbers using the directional buttons. When the cheat is entered a message will be seen saying "Cheat Activated". It is not considered advisable to save after a cheat though.

To block unwanted calls:

If you want to stop Niko's mobile phone receiving calls temporarily when you are still playing the game, you can go into the Options menu and find the Sleep Mode and disable the phone. When the Sleep Mode is functioning, a tiny telephone icon will appear to show that it is on. But, if the phone is in Sleep Mode, you have to remember that it can stop the mission flow, and you would have to unlock the Sleep Mode to continue in the game properly.

Cancel Plans with friends:

If any of the friends call and you are not ready to go out with them, accept the invitation to go out and then shortly afterwards call them back and Cancel Plans. That way they will accept the cancellation but it does not lose Niko any percentage of their friendship.
