Hello? Suggestion department?
Yeah, I'm asking for phones to be added (and fixed).
Radios are horrible, me and my homies hate radios.
The current phone that we have is usually mounted somewhere, and apparently they don't work properly, fix that.
You could go a long way with this, I'm going to suggest something more simple. I'd recommend two phone types, brick/flip phones and satellite phones. Realistically, especially during early occupation, most cell towers would be down around the world, even the those still functioning are generally dangerous to maintain. Satellite phones would be expensive admittedly but I'm one to believe fancy Combine technology could fix such problems, it isn't my server, but I'd prefer the both.
I don't think we should just be communicating either directly face-to-face or through a radio with extremely limited methods between the two like sending letters and broadcasts.
I'm not saying the radio is entirely evil, the radio should be used internally for some organizations like the cops, CWU, and CMU. However, the phone would excel in criminal organizations, loyalist spaces, businesses, and most of all with individuals. The phone could also have a use in emergency situations with law enforcement or medical assistance and in replacing the horrible request device for something more roleplay focused.
Before I end this longer suggestion of mine, I'd like to mention that phones should not be cheap. They'd be for those with some spending cash rather than some random guy who only works during a workshift, prehaps actual payphones could work. If you've got concerns ask about it in the comments,
I am likely to respond unless you are ItsLiam.
TLDR: Phone is doubleplusgood for roleplay. Radio plusungood for some roleplay.
