How to Dial the Phone on "Grand Theft Auto 4"

At a certain point in "Grand Theft Auto IV," you need to quickly learn how to use your phone. Your phone is essential to gameplay. You'll use it to receive mission information, call friends and employers, and arrange dates. The main character, Niko Bellic, receives his phone after the second mission, "It's Your Call." Later in the game, Niko will eventually upgrade to nicer models of phones. Each phone model functions exactly the same.

Instructions

1. Press the "up" button, then hit "X" for PlayStation 3 or "A" for Xbox 360. Select "Phonebook" then scroll through the contacts. When you highlight your contact's name, press "X" or "A" again to initiate the phone call.

2. Call numbers manually by pressing "up" on the directional pad twice. This will bring up the number pad. Use the directional pad to navigate the numbers and "X" or "A" to enter the phone number. When you are finished, select the green phone button to begin the phone call.

3. Activate cheat codes by dialing specific phone numbers into your phone. For example, if you want to remove your wanted level, open the number pad of your phone and call "267-555-0100." Be aware that using cheats will deactivate certain game trophies or achievements.
