Recommended Posts

The "ZIT" part is known as a phoneword. Phonewords are alphanumeric equivalents of a telephone number. The letters corresponding to a particular telephone number can form a word, a partial word, an acronym or abbreviation. They are used for increased memorability of phone numbers.

 

They work like this: there are letters on the keypad as you can see in this picture:

All you do is to press the number key that has the corresponding letter on it. For example, the letter "Z" is on the "9" key, so to dial a "Z" you press the "9" key.

 

So to dial:

ZIT-555-0100 you actually dial:

948-555-0100

 

Once you've entered the ZIT number on your GTA:IV phone, it gets stored in the phone's phonebook which will save you having to dial it all again manually if you want to use it in the future.

How to put the caracter "-"?

 

How to put the character "-"?

Now you are having a laugh. smile.gif

Excuse me while I get down on the floor and have a little ROTFL.

 

[Edit] Oh dear. I've just seen your new thread. You're not joking, are you?

Ignore the "-" character. It's just part of the phone number notation. You don't dial it. Just dial the rest of the number and miss the "-" characters out.
