Ingame mobile phone using steam voice chat

[BL1P 252]

When you use steam voice chat it uses a ring tone to signal that someone wants to talk to you.

 

It made me think it would be cool to have that functionality added into dayz so if you both find mobile phones you can call your friends who are playing dayz using the ingame mobile phone and steam voice chat.

There are also ingame land phones that could be used as well possibly.

How would charge a mobile in the apocalypse? What about the reception? How would the masts still work?

 

It's simply impossible, in my oppinion - and put me off on Contagion already.

We're sorry, but our network is currently down for maintenance because of a zombie apocalypse, please try again  later

It's a cool concept, but I think it would be near impossible to implement it. There are already Radios in the game that will presumably function in the same way, but with a touch of ACE/ACRE where you have to tune frequencies and such.

To be fair, in Contagion, the outbreak was just starting. The electricity hadn't even gone out yet.
