Wow...someone needs anger management. It seems like something one of my guy friends would do...he doesn't even bother to work the combo on his locker anymore, he just braces himself against the locker and pulls the lock off....he's a strange bird....definitely the aggressive type.

Yeah nowadays with cell phones and wireless stuff payphones are slowly being phased out and severly mistreated !

sigh:hurt::(

Well, they fixed the payphone!  Wonder how long this one will last...;)

Payphones are pretty much extinct.

The only ones you see nowadays have either the phone ripped out or don't turn on at all. I don't think I've touched a payphone in seven years.

I found a payphone sign for NYNEX.

Not like most of the pay phones from the last couple decades would have been helpful anyway (since they got rid of the enclosed booth style most places)!

@Airfones: I think it's so they don't want you using your personal phones since they apparently affect the Plane's radio or something..

Airfones were introduced around 1984 long before everybody had a cell phone and the service was discontinued in 2008 because payphones are obsolete.

Yeah that's the part I didn't know lol

Here's a picture of a landline payphone that has a slot for credit card payment
