r/Payphone

And yes it works although the coin return is stuffed with tissues though you can't tell from this picture

After years of sitting on my office desk I finally hung it on the wall and hooked it up “properly”.

Going through a Bluetooth gateway over to a spare cell phone with a dedicated line. Will even make WhatsApp/FaceTime calls!

Coin slot is fully operational but doesn’t require coins for letting coins through.

Any ideas on how to sweeten the setup?

Town doesn't have a working phone but it's worth it to visit anyways. Go check out the the Garden of Eden, its insane. The artist mummified himself and you can see him its so weird.

They both have a tone. I did not have quarters. But… if I find some I could probably give someone a call from them. 😀

found in front of lacey city hall while I was waiting for my car to charge. still works!

I was working with a crew replacing a pool liner in a public patk pool in Charleroi Pa. I said to one of thw workers that there was probably a pay phone around and sure enough tucked into a corner of the snack bar there it was. Not working.

Just one of the few I have found around town. I found one that still works too!

Finally convinced my dad to give me his old pay phone. I used to have it working in my bedroom as a kid (54 now) and always wanted it for my own house. It’s in great condition, but could use new cards.

Oxford, England.
It has dial tone and you can actually call the number and it rings.

No handset, can’t check for dial tone
