In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', phones are white-ish tan and can be either table phones or wall phones. As [[expansion pack]]s are added, the call menu remains largely the same as in the base game - categories are added as needed, but the layout of the menu is unaltered. In ''[[University]]'', Sims can have cell phones. ''[[Pets]]'' and ''[[FreeTime]]'' each add a new style of phone. In ''[[FreeTime]]'', 3-way calling is introduced as a benefit for popularity aspiration Sims. Even without ''FreeTime'', more than two Sims can be involved in a phone conversation if a house has at least two table or wall phones. If a Sim is told to use a table or wall phone while another Sim is talking on one, the player will be asked whether to let that Sim join the conversation, or to have them hang up. |

Sims can talk to other Sims on the phone, and other Sims may call to talk to a household member. This has been improved over what was possible in ''The Sims''; players can now use the "Change Topic" interaction to affect what the Sims talk about, and phone conversations can have more than a minimal effect on the Sims' relationship with one another. The phone can be used to invite Sims over, and even to throw [[parties]]. ''[[Pets]]'' added an 'Invite household' option, which will not appear when calling a [[Townie]] or a Sim who lives alone. When using this option, the player will be presented with a dialog which shows all other members of the called Sim's household, except for babies and toddlers, even if the caller hasn't met them. |

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 outings and even dates. Sims can hire [[services]], and order deliveries. If the appropriate expansion packs are present, a Sim can apply for [[scholarship]]s, start a home [[business]], buy real estate, book a vacation, etc. |
