Hailing Taxis in GTA IV (Xbox 360): No Phone Call Feature

You cannot call a taxi via phone/menu in Grand Theft Auto IV on Xbox 360. The "Call Taxi" feature (using the in-game phone) was added in GTA V and GTA Online. In GTA IV, you must **hail one physically**.

How to Get a Taxi in GTA IV (Xbox 360)

1. Stand on sidewalk / roadside.
2. Look for a **yellow Cabbie / Taxi** driving nearby.
3. Press **`LB` (Left Bumper)** to **hail** (Niko whistles/waves).
4. Taxi pulls over. Press **`Y` (Triangle on PS3)** to enter as passenger.
5. Select destination on map → **`A` to confirm**.
6. Press **`A` again to skip ride** (teleport) or watch cinematic.

Key Details

• Cost: ~$5-$30 depending on distance. Skip ride costs same.
• Availability: Taxis spawn densely in Manhattan/Algonquin, less in Broker/Dukes/Bohan/Alderney.
• No Taxi If: Wanted level > 0 (cops), mission active (usually), in a vehicle already.
• Roman's Car Service: After "Roman's Sorrow" mission, call Roman (`Up` on D-pad → Phone → Contacts → Roman) for a **free** taxi (black Cavalcade). Still requires hailing animation.

No cheat/mod adds a "Call Taxi" button to the phone in GTA IV. It's a GTA V feature.
