What to know

  • Phones spawn only in fixed indoor locations, not near your car.
  • Answer incoming calls immediately, or the interaction fails.
  • Use the numpad to dial outgoing numbers from notes or job boards.
  • Calls are required for advert delivery, parts orders, and contacts.

In My Winter Car, the phone is a critical tool for progressing in jobs, acquiring car parts, and completing survival tasks. Unlike other items, phones are not automatically near your car and require players to locate them in specific indoor areas. Proper use ensures you don’t miss important interactions and can complete tasks efficiently.

How to get the Phone

Phones are found in set indoor locations:

  • Apartment hallway - often on a chair.
  • Parents’ house kitchen - standard household spot.
  • Gas station bulletin board area - job numbers like advert deliveries are posted.

How to use the Phone

Making outgoing calls:
  • Use your keyboard numpad (not top-row numbers) to dial numbers from notes, magazines, or bulletin boards.
  • Enter the digits quickly (e.g., 08609553 for the car guy).
  • Wait for beeps to confirm ringing and hold until connected.
  • Laptops may require using the on-screen numpad.
  • Calls are used for:
    • Advert deliveries
    • Ordering car parts
    • Contacting NPCs
  • If no dial tone is heard, check the Steam overlay for potential interference.
Picking up & Answering incoming calls:
  • Approach the phone and press E to pick it up.
  • If the phone is ringing or beeping, answer immediately; delayed responses cause the call to fail.
  • Keep holding the phone until the call fully ends. Hanging up early prevents the job or interaction from registering.

Using the phone correctly in My Winter Car is essential for steady progression. By knowing where phones spawn, answering incoming calls promptly, and dialing numbers properly with the numpad, you can complete jobs, secure parts, and avoid failed interactions throughout the game.
