GTA4 coded this into the game, the radio will play interference just before your phone goes off....
First time i noticed it, i heard the static, picked up my IRL phone, and then the game phone started ringing. 10/10 immersion and bamboozle

thank you for reminding me of this. I fucking loved that detail. The story with the heavy ass driving and those details made it feel more real. Niko such a great character.
GTA3 had a mod that did this lol
Just gonna leave this here....
Thank you for introducing this to me.
Unrelated but this is now the second vertical music video I've seen, it's physically hurting me how old it makes me feel.
Came here to post exactly this. it's been my ringtone since it was released
That's was... ... ... special
That was fantastic!
A co worker called me into their office yesterday because their computer was making a weird noise every now and then and they couldn't figure it out. After his hilarious attempts to make the noise I tried calling him on his cell phone and sure enough that was the sound. Damn kids.
Why is your coworker still using an old 2G GSM phone? The only way this could happen in 2025 is if the phone is connected to a really old network for some reason. (Do you live in a remote area with poor coverage?)
Remote area.
My old Sony Dream Machine alarm clock can tell me when my cell phone pings a cell phone tower or is about to get a text when it is sitting next to it. The unshielded wires on the speakers make them go pppbbbpppbbbschzzzzzz... pppbbbpppbbbbschzzzzz...
Memory unlocked! My brother used to have this sound as his ring tone. Threw me off the first few times it rang!
dude... Thank you for the nostalgia!
My modem had a built in speaker
