Do you still have phone booths in your city?

Adelaide, and possibly other Australian cities, still has phone booths. There are two within walking distance from my home! The fun thing is that phonecalls are free from these phone booths. I've tried it once and they work well. I called my wife when we were at a restaurant and I saw a phone booth outside. It was a fun conversation!

It has been almost 2 decades since I saw a phone booth. I do have found memories of seeing a phone booth .Most times, I used to call international calls from phone booth. I used to envy the calling cards to be used in certain phone booths. With cellphone and internet around, guess phone booths were phased out in most countries. Good to see this piece of information. Thanks for sharing!

I have not seen one in years. I think that they took them away after they were destroyed often by burglars and naughty teens.

That's funny. We have a few, but weather they actually are connected to anything, I do not know. They have been removed from most places.

I did a post on this maybe a few months ago...phone booths, and pay phones, are pretty much obsolete now.
