```
+### The unused `phonecall` script command may crash
+
+The `phonecall` script command calls the `PhoneCall` routine, which calls the `BrokenPlaceFarString` routine; this switches banks without being in bank 0, so it would start running arbitrary data as code.
+
+**Fix:** Edit `PhoneCall.CallerTextboxWithName` in [engine/phone/phone.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/phone/phone.asm):
+
+```diff
+- ld a, [wPhoneScriptBank]
+- ld b, a
+ ld a, [wPhoneCaller]
+ ld e, a
+ ld a, [wPhoneCaller + 1]
+ ld d, a
+- call BrokenPlaceFarString
++ ld a, [wPhoneScriptBank]
++ call PlaceFarString
+ ret
+```
+
+You can also delete the now-unused `BrokenPlaceFarString` routine.
