Some are not old enough to even remember a pay phone period. I don’t think I’ve seen one in at least 25-30 yrs. There were two that I remember in my town but they’ve been gone for a long time.
My son has a friend he did some construction on his house and that's how they met. He and his Mom are from New York. Last month her family contacted her and told her there was an inside Office Building LOBBY pay phone if she wanted it or the building owner was going to have it sent to the dump. So she asked how much, sent them the money and had a family member deliver it to her here in Kentucky. My son took a picture of it. It is all in good condition with the brown wood and glass door complete with wooden bench and the payphone. She has it in the corner of her living room. Absolutely beautiful and in A1 condition. A piece of nostalgic history. NO she is not going to have the phone hooked up.
They were all around my town, but my town is one of the oldest in the country so I guess that makes sense.
I don't believe a single one remains. Which is of course problematic if you do not have a functioning cellphone and need assistance.
The only place I see pay phones nowadays is at the airport.
