Whose phone was connected to the microwave? Who did her message reach to
change it, and if she kept it a secret, how did they know whose phone to use
on the microwave? Am I forgetting/missing something?

In Episode 9 of Steins;Gate, why did Feris's message affect the past?


Here's a quote from the Steins Gate wiki regarding the message sent back:

> She joined in episode 9, recruited by Rintarou because she wanted to make a
> D-Mail to avoid her father's death.

I believe it ended up taking out May Queen (the cafe) and replaced it with
some other store. The Akiba district was also heavily influenced by the
D-Mail.

Answering your question of who sent it, I believe Faris sent it herself.

The mistake you're making is that the phone attached to the microwave is
irrelevant—any phone is okay.

The phone that matters is the phone that the microwave phone sends the message
to.

The message is sent to [**Faris's father, Yukitaka Akiha**](http://steins-
gate.wikia.com/wiki/Yukitaka_Akiha).

The reason could be classed as spoilers, so make sure you watch the show
first.

Her message was sent back in time to her father's phone. The message she sent
changed the fact that he had gotten on the plane and died. Without her father
in the picture, she sparked the existence of the moe culture in the city. But
with her father in the equation, she had never sparked the moe‑ization of the
city.
