Need to make a call but don't know how? Well, using the phone is easy enough, though slightly time-consuming. If you're in a house or building, it probably has a telephone using which you can call other people in the World. If you want to call someone, you must state clearly who it is you're calling, and where if you wish to talk to someone specific, or if you just want to talk to anybody in a location, say you're calling P3 to talk about a job, then just mention where.
The telephone will then get to work connecting you. it will make two posts, one in the thread you're in explaining it is connecting you, and one in the destination thread where it will state who it's calling for, and ring. Loudly. Once that person has picked up, a post will be made in your thread with their response. You can speak, and a post will be made in their thread with you response. This will go on until the call is over. As it can take a while, we recommend that you use the phone as little as possible, and keep your calls very short. Here's an example set of quotes.
The emboldened parts are who makes the post, and in which thread they are posted in.

Click! The other line has cleared. Your phone call is over. |
And after that, all is back to normal. As you can see, a lot of work is involved in placing a call, and that one there was very short. So try to keep your conversations down, don't call to chat to people, and although it looked complicated, all of the posting work is done for you.
Please note that cellphones are not allowed in the World, as things would get hectic and haywire. Enjoy the use of the phone, but please don't abuse it.
