These are the three most important numbers you'll need for earning money. For detailed job instructions, visit our comprehensive jobs guide.

There are three phone locations in My Winter Car where you can make and receive calls:
Location: Entrance hallway, on a chair near the front door
Use: Primary phone for all job applications and parts orders
Receives: Incoming calls from NPCs with job offers and updates
Location: Inside parents' home
Use: Backup phone location, same functionality as apartment
Note: Useful if you're working near Kesselinperä peninsula
Location: Inside the Machtwagen taxi (after getting taxi job)
Use: Receive customer calls while on duty
Cost: Phone bills deducted from your taxi job salary
The phone system is unforgiving. Follow these exact steps or your call will fail:
Approach the phone and press E (or your interact key) to pick up. You should hear a dial tone.
Critical: You MUST use the numpad on the right side of your keyboard. Top row numbers (1-9 above letters) DO NOT WORK.
Fn + Num Lock, then use J/K/L/U/I/O keys (look for small numbers printed on keys)Win + Ctrl + O, click "Options", enable numpadFormat: Ignore dashes in written numbers. Example: 08-712112 → type 08712112
Speed: Type continuously without pausing >1 second between digits, or the game auto-dials an incomplete number.
After typing the full number, you'll hear beeping/ringing. Be patient - NPCs take 5-30 seconds to pick up depending on:
DO NOT HANG UP EARLY! You MUST wait until:
Why this matters: Hanging up early prevents the game event from triggering - no map marker, no job activation, no parts order. You'll have to call again.
Most NPCs won't answer outside their business hours. Calling at wrong times wastes your in-game time:
| NPC / Business | Hours | Days | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fleetari Repair Shop | 08:00 - 16:00 |
Monday - Friday | Won't answer after 4 PM or on weekends. See parts guide for shopping details. |
| Reijo (Rivett Seller) | 17:00+ recommended |
Daily | May be at work during daytime - best to call evenings |
| Taxi Job Owner | Daytime hours | Weekdays | Meets at PSK at exactly 12:00 next weekday after call |
| Advertisement Job | Anytime | Daily | Automated system - always accepts calls |
| Classifieds Parts Sellers | Daytime recommended | Varies | Individual sellers - try during business hours (08:00-18:00) |
If you hear continuous ringing with no answer:
