Phone Home

Phone Home (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

"Hollow, S'tat You?

When making calls on a telephone, the character cannot be denied. He can make calls anywhere in time and space and have them received when he wants, regardless of who and when he is calling.

1. Unlimited Minutes: Regardless of whether the phone he is using has minutes on it or a phone plan, or even service, the character can make calls on it as if he has unlimited service.

2. Unlimited Roaming: The character can make calls from anywhere in time and space to anywhere else in time and space. This applies only to talk, so texts and web browsing do not work if he is outside his normal space and time. Therefore the character can make calls from one planet to another and one century or decade to another. The only limit to this is that the target destination must have some form of phone service.

3. Universal Translator: Regardless of the languages being spoken, the character and the person he is calling always hear the conversation in their native language. This is done as if each language is interpreted by a language skill of 98%, though some words may not be translatable depending on where and when the conversations are taking place.

4. Caller ID: The character can choose whether or not the recipient of his call knows who is calling them. He can make his identity known even if not calling from his own personal phone.

5. Any Phone: The character can use this power from any phone and the phone he uses will always be affected in these ways.

6. Limitations:

The power does not affect web browsing or texts, only spoken conversations. Likewise, video is not enabled to allow face to face contact.

This only works for calls the character himself makes. There are no incoming calls without phone service, and no calls received at all if the character is out of range in terms of distance and time period.

Because the character is the source of the power, it cannot be used for Line Transit or other powers which rely on a phone line. The character must also hold the phone in one place to use it, making all other activities impossible while he is on the phone.

Each call is to one individual being. He cannot make conference calls or multiline calls with this power. No group chat is possible, nor is putting people on hold. He can only have one person on the phone at a time.

The power doesn't work across dimensions, so cannot call out from a pocket universe or parallel universe of any kind.
