"And here is what people used to call with before cell phones"

Sad how most of these are about gone now.

50 cents for a call? o.o Texting much cheaper :D

I remember these! :P Though I don't know who calls a payphone anymore.

Wow modified keypad and a plastic TTY, crazy.
I work on these, we just installed like 30 new brand new out of box ones.
Some of our old ones they let me stick things inside them that play back messages for a geocache game I had going, like if you hold down the volume button and hook, and put in a nickel you will get a message. its funny.
Anyway cool beans, I bet you didnt know they could check them remotely with computers, or even call them directly to see how much money they have made, what the battery charge is, if its on its hook or not, if it has a coin jam, or if the relay is jammed, and other cool things.

Also this is whats called a western style, its got the coin slot on the left, where as the ones we use are on the right.
