When was the last time you used a payphone?
Did you ever use a payphone in a payphone booth?
Last time I used one, was to change into my superhero costume.
a piece of history & memory
even if they still had it, its easier to just ask someone to borrow his phone which millions today have unlimited text & talk plans so it doesnt use up their minutes to lend it out
borrowing a smartphone comes with a heavy cost in Olam Habah.
So that’s what you’re really getting at here…
Last month our daughter who lives in France flew into JFK. She didn’t have a US sim card in her phone, so she used the payphone after clearing customs/immigration to let me know to pull to the terminal and pick her up.
I haven’t used a payphone in about three years. Prior to that, courts in CT did not permit phones with cameras in the building. I would have to check my cellphone with the judicial Marshal before clearing security and if I had to make a call while in the building I used the payphone. They had booths to provide privacy.
When it became almost impossible to get new cellphones without cameras the rules changed.
now it switched from phone booths to recharger booths rather at airports or in manhattan
