The smartphone is a helpful tool to access many useful things, such as market prices or getting in touch with the police.
The smartphone has a few default apps installed and more can be added in various ways.


==Overview==
Apps are saved to the ELAN Cloud, so if you lose your phone and buy a new one your apps will still be there!
You won't spawn with a smartphone and you will have to buy it first. You can buy it from the [[General store|'''General store''']] for around '''1.000$'''.
 
Having a smartphone can have different advantages. For example you will be able to write '''Player Messages''', have a look at the [[Dynamic market|'''Dynamic Market''']], make an '''Emergency Call''' and have a look at the '''Black Market'''.
 
You can open up your smartphone via '''F2 (PC)'''. If not, please check your [[Controls]].
 
For '''Xbox''':
 
*You enter your inventory screen
* Press Y on the item you want to quick slot
*You then press Y again on the bar on the bottom of the inventory screen (where your map is)
*To access your phone, you hold the button that looks like 2 windows, you then use the Left Stick to hover your phone and release the stick when your hovered over it.


''Note - some Apps and functions within them are restricted to factions like [[Police]], [[Press]], and staff members of [[Team Elan]].''
==Messenger==
==Messenger==
Here you will be able to write Messages to other players on the [[How-to-join|server]]. As soon as you opened up the Messenger-App, you will see your recent chats. If you haven't had a chat yet, it will just be gray for you.
'''Messenger''' is a default app that can be used to send and receive text messages between citizens.


In the top right corner you will have a "Plus" symbol. If you press it, you will see every player on your current [[How-to-join|server]]. Select a player and type your initial message below. After that, press "Create Chat and send". Now you've sent your message to your selected player!
If a citizen has a smartphone on their person when they receive a text message, a small sound will play to notify them.


If you recieve a message, you will hear a notification Sound.
Citizens can only start conversations with individuals who are on the island; however, once a conversation is started, messages can be sent even if the recipient is not on the island.


Now you won't have a grey space anymore and will find your chat you've just created back in the messenger menu. You can have a look at the pictures below.
==Phone==
'''Phone''' is a default app that allows people to call other people and talk to them at any time across the map. Every smartphone has the option to call any other smartphone by default.  


[[File:Smartphone2.png|frameless|332x332px]]      [[File:Smartphone3.png|frameless|332x332px]]      [[File:Smartphone4.png|frameless|332x332px]]
Every Smartphone Owner is able to choose in the settings for himself whether he is currently available and wants to recieve calls or not.  


==Market==
In addition, emergency calls can be made to the [[Police]], who are able to communicate with the emergency caller in real time.
[[File:Market.png|thumb|279x279px|Market-App]]
After you opened the app "Market" you will find all [[goods]] available on the server.  


At the moment there are '''[[Goods|9 legal goods]]''' that you can gather.
==Market ==
 
'''Market''' is a default app that shows the current trading prices for all processed legal [[Goods]]. This can help inform citizens which particular good to gather at that particular moment.
*Copper
*Iron
* Silver
*Gold
* Wooden planks
*Firewood
*Canister (petrol)
*Honey Blue
*Honey Red
 
You can also see their current prices if you select them.


These prices fluctuate over time based on how many are traded; the more a particular good is sold to traders, the lower the price goes, and vice-versa.
==Emergency==
==Emergency==
[[File:Emergency.png|thumb|284x284px|Emergency-App overview]]
'''Emergency''' is a default app that can be used to create a dispatch for [[Police]] to respond to various situations.
If you open up this App, you can send an emergency call.


At the moment you only can send the emergency call to the police.
Citizens can select the type of dispatch and optionally fill out information in the text box to help officers deal with the situation.


You will have different reasons to choose from:
''Note - Misusing the emergency app is a violation of the [[Laws]] ('''Criminal Code §4''' '''emergency call abuse)''' and can result in fines.''
==Banking==
'''Banking''' is a default app that lets you wire money directly from your bank account to another citizen's bank account.


*Robbery
There is a minimum transfer amount of $1,000, and a 5% transaction fee that is removed from the amount you send.
*Hostage taking
*Active shooting
*Unconscious person
* Injured person
* Accident
*Psychological problem
*Other...


After you chose your kind of dispatch, you can also write a text with infos in it.
This means if you send $1,000, the receiving player will get $950
==Broadcast==
'''Broadcast''' is a default app that displays island-wide messages sent by [[Police]], [[Press]], and staff members of [[Team Elan]].


After that you can hit "Create dispatch" and your dispatch has been made. A police officer will arrive soon or may contact you.
All citizens can review these messages, and when new ones are sent a notification is shown along with a small sound effect.
==Over Fuel ==
[[File:Overfuelapp.png|thumb|The Over Fuel smartphone app shows the current demand for all Gas Stations.]]The '''Over Fuel''' app can be purchased at the Oil Refinery (Petrol) once a citizen has reached level 10 in the refining [[Professions|Profession]].


==Black market==
It shows the current demand for all Gas Stations so that you can plan a more efficient route for selling Petrol rather than visiting each station in person.
[[File:Black Market.png|thumb|291x291px|Black-Market-App overview]]
You won't have this app on your phone if you buy it the first time.  


To get this app installed, head to the drug dealer. You will have to interact with him and "buy" this app. It will cost you '''50.000$'''. After that, you will have it on your Smartphone '''permanently'''.
You can even set a waypoint to a specific station to help with navigation!
==Smart Parcel==
The '''Smart Parcel''' app can be purchased at any parcel station or the parcel depote.


It works the same as the normal Market-App. The only difference is that you only will see the current '''[[Goods|3 illegal goods]]''' on this server.
It shows list of the parcles in your car and inventory, along with the distance to the destination station and the payment you’ll receive for each parcel. You can also mark the destination station directly on the map.


*[[Goods|Packed mushrooms]]
== Black Market==
*[[Goods|Packed marijuana]]
The '''Black Market''' app can be purchased from the Drug Dealer in Lamentin.
*[[Growing|Packed nature weed]]


It works similar to the regular '''Market''' app, but shows the current trading prices for Illegal Goods instead.
==Honey Radar==
The '''Honey Radar''' app can be purchased at the Beekeeper once a citizen has reached level 10 in the Honey Spinning [[Professions|Profession]]


It shows how close Red and Blue honeycombs are to you within a 200 meter radius, which can save some time rather than stopping to check every beehive.


 
The smartphone is a helpful tool to access many useful things, such as market prices or getting in touch with the police.
 
== Banking ==
With the recently released v.0.2.158 update for our Arma Life server comes a banking app exclusively available only on the in game smartphone.[[File:Banking app.jpg|thumb|310x310px|Banking app player list]]
 
 
The '''banking''' app is a very easy and fast way to transfer money to other players/friends in need of cash. With this new '''banking''' system, you won't need to go all the way to a market to take some cash out for a friend, also if that player/friend isn't in close proximity to you during the transfer, unlike giving cash to players, it wouldn't matter. Whoever your transferring money to can be as far as Pluto, so long as you have the money needed to make the transfer. '''(Transfers can only be made by transferring $1000 minimum.)''' The only flaw to transferring via our in game '''banking''' app is the fact a small fee will be taken out upon transfer; it's nothing big, but it's the only flaw to transferring via the app in comparison to giving cash.
 
<big>'''<u>How to transfer money in the "Banking" app</u>'''</big>
 
Assuming you have a smart phone at this point, you simply want to hotkey it, then open the '''banking''' app, from here you want to select the player your transferring the money to, then you'd want to input the amount '''($1000 minimum transfers)''', then simply press the button it says to transfer. The player that received the money will get a pop up notification in the top right of their screen, you'll also get a pop up notification stating how much you sent and the fee taken out and handed to the '''bank'''.
 
<big>'''<u>Review on the "Banking" app's features:</u>'''</big>
* Easy to send to other players/friends
* The amount of meters required to send is infinite
* Minimum of $1000 transfers
* Small fee taken out when transferring to players
* Only accessible through the in game smartphone
* This is the new and improved way of sending other players money
 
==Over Fuel==
[[File:OverFuel.png|thumb|Over-Fuel app|323x323px]]
With the update in September 2023 the over fuel app is available for level 10 [[Professions|refinery workers]].
 
With this app, workers have the possibility to check the current fuel demand for every gas station and mark the gas stations on the map.
