How to Use Phone in Paralives

First things first, not all Parafolk can use smartphones; this includes Babies and Toddlers. For others, like Child, Pre-Teen, and Teen Paras, the phone services are limited. Only Young Adult, Adult, and Elder Paras can fully enjoy all smartphone features.

To use a phone in Paralives, click on your selected Parafolk and choose the “Phone” option. Make sure the correct character is selected; otherwise, the option won’t appear. From the dropdown menu, pick any feature or service you want to use at that moment.

In the soft launch of this life simulation, ordering and hiring services come with a small fee that is deducted instantly when you activate them, so be sure you have enough money beforehand.

Thankfully, smartphones don’t add any extra charges later in the in-game bank statement. Each service works on a one-time payment basis, so you only pay when you use it. Anything you order online will be delivered the next morning in the mailbox.

When Should You Use Smartphone in Paralives?

As hinted earlier, smartphones are extremely handy in uplifting the moods of certain Parafolk. For example, Characters with jester vibes will naturally have fun-related needs that can be satisfied by playing video games, which can positively affect their job performance and mood throughout the day.

If you want your Parafolk to complete their unique stamp collection (found in the inventory), purchasing diamond rings and flowers can be very useful, as these are online deliveries that arrive in the mailbox with a special collectible stamp you can claim. They also double as decorative items that can be placed in the home.

Paras who don’t have computer setups at home, or who don’t want to travel to the library or museum just to browse job postings, can simply use their phones to check listings instead. This gadget also allow requests for cleaning and repair services, making life easier for workaholic Paras and even minor Paras. One affects hygiene and health, while the other helps prevent issues like house fires.

While using social media is an instinctive action, your Parafolk will do it anywhere instead of standing still. You can also invite friends over to build better relationships, and who knows your character might even find a partner for marriage through it.
