No kidding.

They still have one at the 7-11 near me and at a nearby gas station as well and I see people using them all the time.

Last time I used one was back when pagers were popular around 1995 I'd guess.

I thought they only used those in the movies so that you can call someone and not be traced by the cops?

When I used one last I used a phone card. Not knowing if you can get phone cards in the states, but they are useful to keep in your wallet incase your battery dies & you have no loose change in your pocket.

I have a phone card that dates back to at least 2002. Still have $10 on it. Used it once in 2007, and MCI didn't expire it or charge me for disuse.

Tiger Could have saved himself a heap of trouble if he would've used them. :)

I was in Vancouver trying to find a payphone to call a buddy, but every payphone I remembered the location of was either gone or broken... Walked around for almost an hour before a chick at Starbucks let me use hers.

I know that chick

Wow, I think the last time I used one of those was in 2000 or so.

You?

Now for a post that no one gives a fat flying fuck about. The phone in the picture looks like a mid-late Protel Sentinal. Somewhere between a model 4000-8000. Though it could be a Wetsern Electric (Protel kind of knocked off the look and I'm kind of Rusty these days) Protel manufactures(mafactured?) COCOTs, or Customer Owned Coin operated telephones, which are generally owned and operated not by the telco, but private owners, much like a vending machine.

Used to see quite a few of these kicking around, then and the Nortel centurions. Now all I see anywhere anymore are the Nortel milleniums. Even those used to be easy as fuck to play around with in the early days, when most of the service codes were all left to default.

Man I miss phucking with phones sometimes. Reminds me of wardialing for hours on end in momma's basement.

I used it to page my drug dealer during my college days.

Damn I remember pinging people with a code of 2b2b2b (+++) just to watch them drop off the net. Good times, good times.

in November in Mexico. Got a calling card for all my calls back north. Worked like a charm.

People use them ALL the time in Central America, and there is usually a line.

Never used one in my life
