Line 101:
Sims can call a [[Taxicab#The Sims 2|taxi]]. A Sim can invite another Sim to meet him or her on a [[community lot]], and, with ''[[Nightlife]]'', can arrange [[outing]]s and even [[dates]]. Sims can hire [[services]], and order [[food]] deliveries. If the appropriate expansion packs are present, a Sim can apply for [[scholarship]]s, start a home [[business]], buy real estate, book a [[vacationing|vacation]], etc.
 
A bug in ''[[Apartment Life]]'' may cause a cell phone to disappear from inventory after it has been used for a while, at least for Sims who are living in apartments.<ref>[httphttps://www.gamespotchargefon.com/pc/strategy/thesims2apartmentlife/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-45332584&pid=946800] {{deadlink}}</ref> This was fixed in the [[The Sims 2: Apartment Life/patch|Apartment Life patch]], though it is not mentioned in the list of fixes.
 
An unusual feature of phones in ''The Sims 2'' is that the Sim on the other end of the call is, to some extent, considered to be on the lot. This occasionally results in that Sim being "teleported" to the lot after the call is ended. If that Sim is a [[child]], this can result in one of his or her parents appearing on the lot to bring the kid home, even after the call has ended. The player will need to watch for this, as the parent will not need to be greeted, and will not leave unless the Ask to Leave/Say Goodbye interaction is used.<ref group="n">[[J. M. Pescado]]'s [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=1479.0 Phone Hack] mod corrects this issue; with the mod installed, calling child Sims at night no longer results in their parents coming over.</ref> However, the "voice on the other end" that is heard during a phone call does not appear to be the [[Voice#The Sims 2|voice]] of the Sim on the other end of the call.
