Phones have been a part of the Grand Theft Auto series ever since its first dive into the world of 3D gaming. However, the moment they became more than just devices for receiving quests remotely was Grand Theft Auto IV.

And to this day, there are still a ton of people who don't realize just how revolutionary that little brick in Niko's pocket is.

Most people think of GTA IV's phone as a tool for taking photos, organizing hangouts with your friends, calling a cab, or finally letting Roman take you bowling (for the twentieth time this week).

However, the phone has a lot of secret utilities, too, in the form of special numbers that you can call for bonuses.

Certain NPCs Niko interacts with throughout the game can help him by healing him or removing his wanted levels when called. One such phone number is obtained after choosing to spare Francis McReary, the others are the phone numbers of potential girlfriends Niko can find online.

These special abilities can be a life changer in a pinch, and the best part is that they're always just one phone call away from getting them!
