The House Phone Only Rings When...

I'm not clear what the use of the house phone is, since everyone is has a mandatory cellphone.
Knowing when one of your friends dies of old age is the only purpose of the house phone, since those calls don't come in on the cell for some reason. Apparently elders all gain the technophobe trait right before they die and leave some sort of provision in their will that no one is to be notified using those newfangled cellular technologies. Not that this is reason enough to have a house phone, mind you, it's really not hard to figure out when someone has died if you're paying a modicum of attention to your relationship panel.

It can also force your sims to be out of the way while on the phone, since they seek a spot to use their cell automatically.

I silence all phones, including cell phones. If you've ever had a Rock Star or someone else who knows lot of people, there is no way you can make your own call because sims are always calling you!

There's an option in the telephone named "ignore call" and it seems to be effectless. Most of the calls are those idiot opportunities, I command Ignore call and the opportunity come up anyway.

Even with no house phone I still get notifications that so-n-so has a short time to live, then the next day that so-n-so has died. There is no reason to have a house phone (IMO)
