When was the last time you had a call on a pay phone?

[Smartman5]

I made it with my grandmother at least 10 years ago. Our aim was to finish the credits on the phone card. Then we continued talking on the cell phone. now, although there are still pay phones, no one uses them anymore. I think that as long as payphones stay on the streets, it will be a historical monument.

~20 years ago, when my cell phone‘s battery died. Since postal service and phone service was in one hand, it was always easy to find a phone booth. Deutsche Telekom just deactivated cash payment in the last 12.000 booths still operating and will remove all of them from service by 2025. Airports and railway stations will keep public phones on poles (instead of booths).

I guess in 2014. I was in another country, didn't have enough credit on my own phone, not even to receive calls, and didn't know where my girlfriend was so I bought a phone card and used a public phone.

[Smartman5]

very good. Was it difficult to find the phone card?

[Barry88]

No, I bought it in a tobacco store, where these cards are/were normally sold. Of course I bought such cards more frequently in the 1990s and 2000s.

Where i live all the payphones have been dug up and got rid of, I haven’t seen one for over 20 years. 🤣

[Smartman5]

They can’t be found anywhere.
