Do you usually your give your sims house phones?

I always put one either on their desk if they have one or on the wall or their night stand in the bedroom. I believe in giving all of my Sims houses landline phones since I still have and use one in my own house even though I do have a cell phone. I only use my phone either when I'm out and about or if there is a problem with the house phone such as when the electric goes out during a storm. I would never give up my landline for anything.
