== The Sims 3 ==
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'' all Sims (except babies and toddlers) have an irremovable cellphone (smartphone in ''[[The Sims 3: University Life|University Life]]'') in their inventory from the beginning, meaning that Sims no longer needed to own a landline phone in order to be called, although landline phones can still be purchased for [[residential lot]]s. Phones can be used to talk to Sims, invite them over
Like previous games, a telephone curfew is enforced from 2AM{{confirm}} to 6AM, during which any calls are rejected. However, there does not appear to be any effect in relationship if such a call is made. Calling a Sim who is currently at work will provide the player with the time that they should call back. Services can be called at any time of the day; however, the caller must be on their home lot or the option will be greyed out. Unlike previous games, [[child]]ren cannot call for any services, including emergency services.<ref group="n">Children can hire any service if the "call services" module of the [https://modthesims.info/download.php?t=579548 'No Stretch' Children can series] mod is installed.</ref>

===Notes===
*If an active Sim receives and answers a phone call from somebody to chat, the player will be asked if they would like to proceed with the phone conversation or not.
*If the household has a landline phone, phone calls informing the household when a close friend or relative dies will be routed to the landline.
*Sims can receive a phone call that's transmitted from the [[callbox]] when a visitor buzzes a household.{{Vgversion|TS3:LN}}
*As of ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future|Into the Future]]'', the [[opportunity]] phone call doesn't work properly as Sims would answer the phone but no dialog would appear.<ref>A video of the bug can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE2eNrvWpvg here]</ref> A mod at [https://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=560635 Mod The Sims] can be used to fix this bug. The game doesn't properly check the required world of an opportunity a Sim is currently in, which causes the opportunity dialog not to appear. This occurs if Sims have [[Laser Rhythm-a-con]] or [[Advanced Technology]] skills. However, because the opportunities of both skills have unreasonably high weighted chance, these opportunities are more likely to be received than any other skill opportunities.
*Sims who get the ''University Life'' smartphone and then travel to [[Oasis Landing]] get a smartphone with a cracked screen.{{confirm}}
