Basically, we are ONE SINGLE STEP away from fully ingame communication. However, I have no idea how complicated that final step is.

Right now we have channels for each organization in TeamSpeak, PD especially has multiple channels due to the multiple zones/need for private channels.

I am suggesting group phone call chatrooms. Since we now have the ability to call other players in the server via their phone numbers, I thought it would be cool if a new tab in the phone could be added to select a group discussion room, MAYBE even password them. In this way, each whitelisted organization will have access to it's own set of channels via their password, but the channels themselves will always remain visible to the entire server much like how TeamSpeak is set up.

This will bring our communication ingame, meaning when we are chatting, we are also speaking ingame bringing a bit more realism to our conversations and less metagaming in certain circumstances where if you were talking to your friends about how your getting arrested right now on your bluetooth, the cops would hear you. If they remove the bluetooth, maybe it disables your phone?

Stuff like this could make the actual purchasing of a cell phone and bluetooth useful as they would be a requirement. A bluetooth would allow you to continue to use your phone when handcuffed until the officer removes it perhaps.

Irl, with police departments, you will find officers facetiming in groups while in patrol. They are generally always communicating with someone. This would allow for that to happen while now jamming up the Teamspeak channels and not adding an additional communication system that players need to keybind for.

These are my thoughts, feel free to scrutinize.

This used to be a thing, albeit everyone was anonymous but phone script was changed, from when it was a thing, it was only text chat and I don’t remember anyone using it very much, I think I used it maybe three times

I'm suggesting using the voice system, not a text chat. I can see why text chat wouldn't get used, but a voice system would most certainly be used. And this would not be anonymous, well it would be if the user chose to I suppose. But for systems like PD, I would assume it wouldn't.

We all use Teamspeak don't we? Remove the Teamspeak channels and implement this, what do you get? The same thing but with ingame communication.
 
Also I have to say that current voice call system is somewhat glitchy at times, ie it goes away when you go into a circle, idk it just doesn’t seem anywhere near as reliable as ts, and why change a system that works?

To expand on ingame communication and decrease third party use. Now if there's glitches, sure these should be investigated before relying solely on a system like this. However I know that PD specifically would find something like this extremely beneficial assuming there were no glitches. And as far as roleplay is concerned, this would only benefit it having players communicate ingame when talking on the phone, having to go somewhere private to have a private conversation instead of the meta conversations we have regularly without even considering it.
 
I dont know how the pd would benefit from this. we use radio, not phones.

We use teamspeak to communicate as a group. Certain people do not appreciate us using teamspeak as a social circle outside of radio use, this would provide an ingame alternative.
