Have you noticed that since unlocked phones have become more popular that pay phones have started vanishing? Cell phones have become a staple in peoples lives. They’re convenient and are easier to use than to have to make sure you have change on you.
Even house phones are becoming obsolete in some households. I don’t have a house phone.. only my cell and hubby has his. Cell phones are great when traveling. We don’t have to try to find a pay phone we only have to make sure we bring the chargers with us. We don’t have to use the phones, and get charged for calls, in motels.
I don’t see many pay phones around anymore. They used to be on almost every corner and outside almost every convenience store and grocery store. There used to be tons at rest stops on the interstates too… now there are only a few and I rarely see anyone using them.
