Hi marina321, Yes i have done, once in town i was waiting for the bus and the booth was quite near the bus stop, it started to ring and I answered it and told whoever it was that it was a public phone, he made a mistake and thanked me. I thought yep, you can makes mistakes. Tamara

yes I answered one once but I never hear that many public phones ringing, that movie was about a criminal who knew the guy that picked up the phone if I remember correctly

I have answered public phones. Actually, where I used to work, the employees would have their family and friends call them on the pay phone at a certain time. If I was passing by and the phone rang, I would answer it, and if I knew who the person the call was for, I would go into their workplace and let them know they had a call. I even had people call me on the pay phone.

Funnily enough, my daughter was visiting the other day and told me she'd been watching a reality game where phones rang on different sides of a city and the people who answered became 'contestants' in some sort of race for a prize. She said it was excellent - and it sounds like a great idea! Yes, I'd answer the phone - you never know what might happen!

Nah, I would just walk on by. Let it be because it probably isn't for you, and if it is, that is just creepy.

i wouldnt answer it , plus they have so many germs on those pay phones , ew i wouldnt touch it .

I have not seen this movie yet, but have heard about it. I have actually picked up ringing pay phones when no one else was around. Mostly they were wrong numbers. It never intimidated me. I always think if no one picks it up the caller won't know they dialed wrong, etc.

Yes, I think that I took a risk to answer the public phone once. But, I may never do this again. I am unsure if I have seen this movie before. It sounds like something that I would want to see. So, I will not pick up the phone so suddenly. I am a little too uneasy to answer it. I would rather be safe than sorry. There is no telling, who is on the other end of that call.

No, I would not. It is most likely a wrong number or prank.

You bet I would. I am too curious not to. I recall this movie but I never saw it. It sounds quite entriguing. I have answered a pay phone and it was a wrong number. I really don't have a problem with it but, again, I haven't seen that movie. I don't understand why someone wouldn't answer a phone. I guess it is just the difference between people. I am just too curious.

Yes, I have answered a ringing public telephone. I have not done it recently because there jus aren't any public telelphoens anymore where I live. The times that I did answer the phone it would be someone asking to speak to someone nearby and there wouldn't be anyone. Or they would hang up.

That's a good movie. I have it but it's been awhile since I watched it, maybe I will this weekend. I've answered pay phones lots of times. Nothing bad ever happens.

No I would not.It is a public phone,if it rings,it's none of my business.But I would answer my friend's phone if it is left and rings right beside me.

sounds familiar., i saw that movie but i forgot the title ., well if i passed by to a phone booth and heard that its ringing i wouldn't bother to answer it cause for sure that wasn't intented for me ., thanks for asking anyway ., that seems to be interesting ., lol!

Yeah, i know about the movie but i did not watch it as pritics for it are quite bad, and it's a old movie too.. lol =D I dun think i will pick it up because it's kinda weird for a public phone to start ringing on its own.. Furthermore, it's open to everybody and even if it's not meant for us, we wont know who's the person meant for the call too.. lol =D BUt in singapore, we used to have those coin phones in our coffee shops, and one will actually be expected to be called back or anybody is welcomed to answer the phone.. hehe ^_^ As there are the usage of 'pagers' in the past, and handphone was not yet created at that time, and thus it's quite a norm to see and hear public phone ringing.. lol =D

I've answered it before when I was in the waiting room at the hospital, usually someone calls looking for family members. There aren't very many public phones anymore, I don't think I've seen a payphone anywhere, everybody has cell phones now.

Yes i have watched the movie. No, i would never answer a public pay fone, it kind of gives me a eerie feeling to answer a public pay phone which is only used for calling and not receiving calls.

No, I have heard the public phone ringing before but I never pick it up. I know it is not for me!

Hi, I don't see many pay phones around in public nowadays as almost everyone owns a hand phone. However, I don't think I would answer a call at a pay phone. I am just wondering how to call a public pay phone and what is the number?
