wow - that is an antique - I remember being in paris probably 15 years ago and being able to call home and put lots of francs into the phone - as your money ran out you started to hear a clicking sound and you would start talking faster and faster to finish your call before the money ran out.

Tony, It must have been at least 15 years ago since I've seen the last phone booth.

It has been a while.. I guess they could still have them to close yourself in as you use your cell phone...

Leolinda,

I used to work for the telephone company and you're right, I can't remember the last time I've seen one.

I recently saw one of these in the cayman islands. I wasn't sure at the time if it was on display as an antique or for people to use!?

The last time I saw one was in the movie , Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.  And, when you do happen-upon one, the equipment often does NOT work.

Definitely been a while!  And I wonder when we will also comment on land line phones as such a quaint antique notion!

Leolinda,

The last time I did see one - whenever that was, it didn't have a phonebook. That's a find. :)

Hi Leolinda, Now that was a find, they sure are hard to spot nowadays. Like you last time I used one a quarter was I needed!

Darren, its been at least 5 years for me.

Rich, me too, for Hawaiian Telephone/GTE in Hawaii.

Christopher, perhaps found in remote areas with little technology.
