a pay phone?

Very rare nowadays I expect. For me it was abroad, Algarve in September I think due to the ridiculous mobile call costs!

Twice in the last month!

Once was when my mobile had a flat battery and the sceond was when I realised I might be on the phone for a little while so I used the landline rather than the mobile 'cos it would be cheaper.

about 3 months ago when some idiot crashed into me and wrecked my car, my breakdown company no is freephone and easier to ring from the phonebox than worry about my credit on my mobile running out

In this country? March 1999. Don't think I'd know how to use one now!

I know it's a cynically snobbish view but I always associate people using payphones with people trying to score smack :|

Probably last year, same as Joe I needed to make an urgent call and the mobile was flat as a pancake!

D'oh! That'll teach me to keep my phone charged up regularly.

Needed to use one a few weeks ago several times when our BT landline needed a fault reporting. WOuld have used mobile but its costs a fortune to ring 0800 numbers.

Needless to say when i got there it didnt work.:mad:

Last time i used one was when we was in Turkey last year to ring family, Ive used the free pay phones loads of times for taxis if that counts every weekend when out shopping, but as for public phone to ring someone i dont use them unless im away.
