Accepted Add chat functionality to phones

[Welper]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Adds the ability to use chat to talk to people on the phone

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I don't believe so

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Would allow non-mic users to talk to people on the phone
Would allow people to understand others easier in times where a microphone is cutting off or the person cant understand the other

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Could be difficult to implement
Could be harder to see the message due to the time it takes to write/the amount of other messages someone has

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
While i believe it might be difficult to implement, it would be very useful to people without microphones like me who cant call/recieve calls.

Wouldn't be too difficult to implement (OnPlayerChat while on phone can just ChatPrint to the other person).

Make it like comms "/p or /phone"

i normally do /pm **PHONE** or similar but having this native would be good and fun, would add more use to phones (and /pm is ONLY seen by that other person, whereas realistically, you'd have the other people around the person speaking seeing/hearing what they say)

could also add a loudspeaker option to like, increase the range of text seen/voice heard

real life conference calls in RP, wow
