A crafting tree for the cell phone, showing what items to combine, and where to get them.

The Cell Phone is an informational item that displays fishing power, weather, moon phase, elevation, distance east/west, time, nearest valuable environment item, player speed, current DPS, total kills of the last enemy attacked, rare creatures nearby, and total number of nearby enemies. It can also teleport the player home, similar to a Magic Mirror. The Cell Phone entails one of the more complex crafting trees in Terraria.

Unlike most other informational items, the Cell Phone does not double as an accessory, and cannot be equipped in accessory slots. It instead functions solely from the player's ordinary inventory slots.

While the inventory screen is open, Cell Phone information is hidden. Instead, an icon is displayed for each information type, each of which can be clicked to toggle their display on or off.

In Multiplayer, information from the Cell Phone will be shared with other nearby players on the same team.

Notes

• The Cell Phone is the end result of combining 13 individual items: its original constituent items are the Magic Mirror or Ice Mirror, Gold Watch or Platinum Watch, Fisherman's Pocket Guide, Weather Radio, Sextant, DPS Meter, Tally Counter, Lifeform Analyzer, Radar, Compass, Depth Meter, Metal Detector and Stopwatch.

Trivia

• The Cell Phone's nature as a single catch-all device parallels the multifunctionality of real modern smartphones, which have largely rendered once-common appliances like watches, compasses, timers, radios, and standalone GPS units obsolete.
