Touya asked him if he could keep his smartphone. Now it has service in and GPS maps of said fantasy world, can access the internet of Touya's home universe, and can make direct calls to God.

* The Hotline in ''VideoGame/{{Control}}'', a red rotary phone (with a missing dial) that serves as a direct line between the Director of the [[ArtifactCollectionAgency Federal Bureau of Control]] and its [[MysteriousBacker Board]], a sort of benign EldritchAbomination. Only the Director is allowed to use it; anyone else who tries suffers a gruesome but [[NoodleIncident unspecified]] fate. The worse a Director suffers is a little PsychicNosebleed. It also allows you to hear the final thoughts of the FBC’s previous director, recently deceased, providing you with a lot of important context and knowledge about the Bureau.

* In ''WebVideo/BoardJames'''s review of the Dream Phone, the eponymous phone (a children's toy that's not supposed to be connected to any real phone network) starts giving James [[EvilPhone threatening phone calls]] from a SerialKiller anyway.

* Played with in ''Shin Megami Tensei: VideoGame/DevilSurvivor.'' In the first game, the protagonists receive [=COMPs=] - "Communications Players" that look like DS systems - which have been hacked to use the Demon Summoning Program; not quite cell phones, but in much the same spirit. [[VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2 The second game]] ''does'' use cell phones, but there's nothing inherently unusual about them: they only ''become'' unusual once the Demon Summoning App is force-installed on them.

* Igor in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 1}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'' had a phone that allowed him to fuse Personas through cards. ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}''[=-onwards=], he drops the phone and instead had him use his magic to fuse them.

* There have been several iterations of ''Franchise/PowerRangers''[=/=]''Franchise/SuperSentai'' wherein their cellphones have been incorporated with their morphers. How many of them see regular use as phones depend on the series. Owing to the age of the franchise, they started out as flip-phones, then got progressively sleeker, and [[Series/ResshaSentaiTokkyuger the most recent case]] resembled a smartphone.
