Changelog

1.0.0 — First release

Phones are here. Craft one, open it, and you have your own number, your own address book and your own inbox.

Pick your handset

• Smartphone — the full experience: a proper home screen, eight apps, a dock, 12 wallpapers and 6 colour themes.
• Basic phone — a classic keypad handset with a green screen. Messages, groups, contacts and calls, nothing else. Much cheaper to craft, and honestly kind of charming.

Both use the same line. Your number, your contacts and your conversations stay the same no matter which one you are carrying, so you can keep the cheap one as a spare.

Talk to people

• Text anyone in your contacts, and get a little notification in the corner of the screen when someone texts you back — no need to keep the phone open.
• Group chats for up to 8 people. Give them a name, invite whoever you want, and make them from either handset.
• Voice calls. Real voice, and you hear each other clearly no matter how far apart you are.
• Call history so you can see who called, who you called and who you missed.

Running a group

Whoever creates a group is in charge of it. You can rename it, remove people, promote someone else to admin, or shut the whole thing down. Admins can invite and remove members. Nobody can kick the creator.

If the creator ever leaves, the longest-serving admin takes over — a group never ends up with nobody in charge.

HySocial

A social feed built into the phone. Post, like, comment and repost. If you would rather not put your name on something, post it anonymously.

You can always delete your own posts. Admins can delete anyone's.

Six colour themes for the post cards, so it looks how you want it to look.

Getting someone's number

You cannot text or call someone who is not in your contacts. Numbers are something you get given, not something you guess. There are three ways to add one:

• Type it in if someone told you their number.
• Scan for people nearby and add whoever is standing next to you.
• Look them up in the public directory, if they have chosen to be listed.

Your contacts are sorted A to Z with the letter down the side, so a long list is still easy to read. You can mark favourites, block people, and turn on do not disturb when you want to be left alone.

Going incognito

Sometimes you want to say something without your name attached. Incognito mode hides who you are on calls and texts — the other person just sees a hidden number.

Leave it switched on permanently, or turn it on for a single call. And if you would rather not deal with anonymous strangers at all, you can set your phone to reject anything that comes in hidden.

Be sensible with it: server staff can still see who sent what, so it is for privacy, not for harassing people.

Making it yours

• 12 wallpapers, from near-black to bright.
• 6 colour themes for HySocial.
• Change your display name.
• Turn message and ringtone sounds on or off.
• Choose whether you appear in the public directory.

Good to know

• Phones are crafted at a workbench. The basic one takes 4 iron bars and 2 copper; the smartphone takes 12 iron bars, 6 gold and 4 blue crystals.
• Right-click with a phone in hand to open it, or type /movil abrir.
• Forgot your own number? /movil numero.
• If you are carrying both handsets, the smartphone is the one that opens.
• The phone's menus are in Spanish.
