      @@ramenlover1727 yes I see your point also. I spent countless hours on a payphone because my mom was noisy and I couldn't stand it, she was a control freak and narcissist I saved my change just for that it's terrible when you can't have a private conversation with friends on the telephone. I listened in on hers and it was pathetic in how she made herself a victim to family members.

    Pretty sure they can grasp the concept of a public phone that you pay to use from watching a movie... 🤷‍♂️

    The only reason no one using them because others rather use the cell and gain free service which the pay phone is better when you need to use the phone and the ones who cut them are the ones who wanted to to take the phones down .
    It is stupid to get rid of them and should be brought back in small towns

    We have them still in Grand Rapids Michigan Stores put them in or outside the Stores because not everybody can Afford a SmartPhone Actually Police managed to capture evidence in the earlier 2000s A Stalker was busted when evidence showed he used PayPhones thinking it would be hard to find anybody that way He even used PrePaid cards as well. U see a guy who worked at a bank used his position to scare 3 news anchors by calling them nonstop qouting back personal info about them, He was arrested and is in Jail, Since then All Anchors were transfered to other TV Stations, He would see a Female News Anchor and become so much in love with them ( he thought it was love) that he felt the need to be with them, That guy was sure lonely to want to do that, Will he ever change when his Jail time is over? Oh yeah the Bank Fired him before he went to Jail after the Bank found out what he did

    Yeah I, I know it's hard to remember
    The people we used to be
    It's even harder to picture
    There's no payphone in the street
    Now it's too late to make it
    But is it too late to try?
    And in our time that we upgraded
    All of the payphones broke down
    I've missed all my nights
    Call if she's alright
    Not glued on some light
    Still stuck in that time
    When we called it love
    Now it's just cellphones keeping me entice
