Chat

Chat is accessed through the Map tab. Just above the bottom row of tabs, there will be a row that shows an avatar, a Mob Boss name, and some chat. Click this area to be taken to the Chat screen.

A small note, all text in Chat is output in capital letters.

Global Chat
Global Chat is where everyone on Pocket Mobsters can talk, and this is where Cartel recruitment happens most. To cut back on spamming there is a token system in place. It costs one token to say something in Global Chat. To see how many you have, look at the middle tab at the bottom. You can purchase more chat tokens with Mob Bucks by clicking the "Buy More" tab at the bottom.

To enter something in Chat, type the field at the top of the screen that reads "Tap to type a message." After you type it in, press either "Done" or "Return." Then you will have to press the red "Post" button to the right of this field to send the message. Be aware that you only have 140 characters available.

If there is nothing in this field, the red button turns to a "Refresh" button. Hit this to retrieve all new messages.

Moderators in Global Chat will have their names in Blue. Members of the Dev team will have their names in Green. And yes, the developers do use Chat.

Whispering
To whisper to a player in Global Chat type:

/whisper {Mob Boss's name with no spaces} Whatever you want to say.

So for example, you wanted to send a private message to Mob Boss 28, you would type

/whisper mobboss28 Hey Mob Boss 28.

Cartel Chat
When you join a Cartel, you can use Cartel Chat to talk with other members in the Cartel for free. To access Cartel Chat, open Chat from the Map screen. Then click the "Channels" tab at the bottom and select "Cartel Chat."

You still have only 140 characters to type, but, again, it does not cost any Chat Tokens.
