If you want to enter SMS then left-click. If you want to enter GPS then right-click. If you want to enter GTunes then press E+left-click. If you are inside an app, press E+right-click to go to menu. Press R to close GPhone.

SMS: When inside the SMS app, right-click to circle through players. When you find the player you want, then left-click to chat. A text entry will popup and you can now write messages (Press enter to send). If the message was send successfully, the player you send it to will hear a noise and he will receive the message. If the player's phone is closed or he simply doesn't have any, the message will be saved until his phone is open and he will be able to view it.

GPS: If you enter the GPS app, you'll notice that there's a blue dot in the middle of the screen. That is you. Green dots represents players who have the gphone active. You must look north for the GPS to work properly. A compass is also viewed at the top of the phone.

GTunes: If you left-click, a text-entry will popup, you can now enter a youtube-URL. (Don't use the whole URL, just use the end of it. Fx: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxIiPLVR6NA", would be: "YxIiPLVR6NA") Press enter to start the song. Press left-click to stop the song so you can choose a new one or leave the app. Remember that only You will be able to hear the song. You NEED Adobe flash player for other browsers to get gtunes to work. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Known bugs

If you are inside the chat app when a player disconnects, you and/or the server will get an error telling, that the specific player doesn't exist. This can be fixed by switching to another weapon and back again. Some people cannot hear the music from the phone.

FAQ

Q: Can you add camera app, flashlight app, and games? A: I won't add camera, there's already a camera in gmod with more possibilities than I could make. I won't add flashligt. Pressing F is easier than going into an app and pressing a button. I won't add games as alot of the code in the swep is unnecessary and could have been made better. Which means it would take a long time to make a game, but it would also be very buggy at the end.
