What's the title of your suggestion?: Phones Price Decrease/new phones

What's your suggestion?:
Decreasing price for smartphones and flip phones

i think the phones are WAY to expensive
flip phones are like under 200 dollars irl and flip phones arent really a thing anymore
I think schoolrp should remove flip phones and or replacing the price to 200 or below
SmartPhones
the Smartphones are way to expensive they are over 30,000 dollars and special phones such as special colors for the model should not be more expensive then the phone
also the base model iPhone 16 is only 799 US
and the base pro model is $1000 US
the base pro max is $ 1199 US
Base Pro: https://www.apple.com/us-edu/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-16-pro
Base regular https://www.apple.com/us-edu/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-16

How will this benefit the server and community?:
this will help people (new players afford phones way faster)

I don't think flip phones should be removed. There are a handful of people (older) who still use them. Also I like flip phones. My characters use flip phones!

Flip phones are still used on the server by a good handful of people, like some of my friends (wethecreature included). So they shouldn’t be removed — although the price could be lowered a little, yes! At least for flip phones; smart phones are somewhat expensive IRL, usually ranging from between 100-400 or so USD where I’m from, so it does remain realistic somewhat and shouldn’t be lowered

The prices on SRP are in Yen, not dollars, the economy on the server doesn't work like the one in real life and the prices aren't that high... You can make money in a lot of ways like fishing as well.

I don't see your reasoning as to why remove flip phones, they're the cheaper alternative to smartphones with a few cosmetic features removed like games. Flip-phones look great and they can be used by older characters or if you just don't have money.

If we're going off of the prices in America, then the phone prices really aren't that outrageous.
¥50,000 = $324. That's pretty standard pricing for a phone.

Also there is absolutely no reason to remove flip phones-

As someone who enjoys flip phones and has a custom flip phone themselves, I do not think we should remove them. To lowering prices, that is up to the shop that sells the phones to raise/lower their prices. If they are expensive, that means that they are popular or are super expensive to reorder.

Reasons above. Yen is a different currency to dollars. As well as that, SchoolRP offers many easy ways of making money. In real life, making $200-$799 for a phone isn't easy without a job, however in SchoolRP, you can make 200-1,000 yen within minutes of fishing at the pond.

You'll get there and be able to buy a phone, I recommend you look at alternative ways of making money. You can Join a Faction which can offer up to 200k or more, per month OOCLY.

Faction Applications

Or you can wait for allowance, fish at the pond, sell things in character, become a tailor to make skins for people, etc. Remember, it wouldn't be fun if nothing was challenging, if you had everything you ever wanted on SRP, you wouldn't have any goals to strive towards and might get bored :)

-1, Why get rid of flip phones? They are still useful and cheaper alternatives than smartphones. Smartphones should feel like a reward that you work for as you play more while you earn money icly in the game to gain it. Just like with cars, you save up and buy better things over time. Plus, 50k yen is only about $323, not $30,000 what you claim that they are.

Definitely no... people still use flip phones, and they generally add more variety and realism to the role-playing world than to real life. I have seen plenty of people use flip phones to this day, both in-game and in real life.

Like cars, we're lucky to have phones at the price they already are—they're rather cheap. Do more fishing or apply for a faction to easily earn some money! I don't see a reason to have to decrease the price of phones.
