How to Play "New Phone, Who Dis?"
"New phone, who dis?" is a fun and playful game that's taken social media by storm. It's all about embracing the humorous confusion that can arise when someone gets a new phone number and their contacts don't recognize it. While there isn't a structured set of "rules," the core of the game is about playful misdirection and witty responses. Let's explore how to play, both sending and receiving the message.
How to Send a "New Phone, Who Dis?" Text
The beauty of this game is its simplicity. When you get a new phone and need to reconnect with your contacts, instead of simply announcing your new number, you send a text that starts with "New phone, who dis?" This immediately sets a playful tone and encourages a fun response.
Here's how to do it:
-
Get your new number: This is the prerequisite! Make sure you have your new phone number ready to go.
-
Choose your contacts: Decide which friends or family members you want to reach out to using this method.
-
Send the text: Send a simple text message to your chosen contacts that reads: "New phone, who dis?" You can add a simple emoji like a winking face or a phone to make it even more playful.
-
Wait for the replies: Get ready for a range of hilarious responses! Some people might immediately recognize you, others might play along with the game, and some might be completely confused. That's part of the fun.
-
Reveal yourself: After you've received a few responses, reveal your identity. You can reply with your name, or a more elaborate response like, "It's [your name], I got a new phone!"
What if someone sends you a "New Phone, Who Dis?" text?
Receiving this text is equally entertaining. Here's how to respond:
-
Gauge the situation: Do you recognize the number at all? If it's a familiar area code or prefix, you might have a clue.
-
Play along: Even if you know who it is, engaging in the game is more fun. Try to guess before revealing your knowledge. Responses like "Who's this?" or "Is this Mark from accounting?" can extend the fun.
-
Reveal your identity (or don't): If you recognize the number, you can reply with a playful response revealing your identity, or you can keep the game going longer for added amusement.
What are some variations of "New Phone, Who Dis?"?
While the classic "New phone, who dis?" works perfectly, you can get creative! Here are a few variations:
