True, but calling is quicker and easier. I also did not say use it for
every contact. Plus, most players are not bright (unless they
research unexhastingly or are GMs also). It is great fun to let them
do the lame thing, then wire tap the phone, disguised individual,
vidphone is actually hollow with an assassin inside, anchored spells,
etc. Much fun if you are into hurting characters that do not seem to
learn.
