==The Sims Castaway Stories==
 
Telephones in The Sims Castaway Stories are replaced with '''Shell Phones'''. They are basically the same as the phones from ''The Sims 2'', only in the shape of a large shell. They are only available as a story reward object. They are more similar to mobile phones than telephones, since they're usually carried in the Sim's [[inventory]] and can be used by clicking on the Sim and selecting the option "Call...". Unlike the phones from ''The Sims 2'', they can only be placed vertically.
 
== The Sims 3 ==
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'' all Sims (except babies and toddlers) have a cellphone (smartphone in ''[[The Sims 3: University Life|University Life]]'' or Holophone in ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future|Into The Future]]'') 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 are still available in buy mode. The cellphonescellphone can be used to talk to friends, invite them over, ask someone on a date, check real estate, chatmake long distance calls, planthrow parties, call for services, move, andtake makepictures, plans orand plan for vacations. PlayersSims canwho also changehave a Sim's[[Teleportation ringtonePad|teleportation andpad]] takeat pictureshome withcan use the cellphone to teleport back to the pad. If ''[[Generations]]'' is installed, teens can make [[prank callscall]]s. For the first time in the series, the ringtone of the cellphone can be changed by the player.
 
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.

===Notes===
*Instructing a Sim to answer the phone will cause them to drop all other interactions in their queue.
*To call services the Sim must be on their home lot or the option will be greyed out.
*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 [httphttps://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 have a [[Teleportation Pad|teleportation pad]] at home can use the cell phone to teleport back to the pad.
*When directing a Sim to answer the phone, the interaction will queue up after his or her current ongoing interaction, which will be promptly canceled.

There are no telephones in ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'', as the game is set in medieval times, but [[pigeon]]s serve as the equivalent item; they are used to talk and invite friends.
