haha payphones are useless now. And I hate it when I make a call with them and end up getting the answering machine.

All part of this trend.

According to one much-cited calculation, the country’s last printed newspaper will land on a doorstep sometime in the first quarter of 2043. That is a positively healthy outlook, however, compared with another staple of American life: the home telephone. Telecoms operators are seeing customers abandon landlines at a rate of 700,000 per month. Some analysts now estimate that 25% of households in America rely entirely on mobile phones (or cellphones, as Americans call them)—a share that could double within the next three years. If the decline of the landline continues at its current rate, the last cord will be cut sometime in 2025.

I still rely on home phone cause it's technically unlimited and if someone calls me from long distance it's free.

Theres alot of payphones around still...

i don't think it should cost anymore than it would cost you normally to accept incoming ld calls to your cellphone than it would cost you local calls

payphones give you aids...

One good place for a pay phone that I would definitely have to use without a choice is Buntzen Lake.

So, yes. This is ridiculous!

fucking canada line

Sorry, but youre not pandalove.

i thought so too, but when i was at metrotown today lining up at the cibc interac machine, i noticed that the row of pay phones outside was all labeled Bell.

cheeper to borrow a cellphone from someone

I liked how it was in Asia; roughly 5c for 20 seconds. Much more logical.
