When last did you use a phonebox?

[i8hibsh]

Simple question really.

 

I still see them everywhere, sometimes brand spanking new with the internet etc. However the only people I see entering them are homeless peopel searching for a 20p piece in the return coin slot or a drunkard using it for a lavvy.

 

Does anyone here actually still use them?

Here in Hull, all the phoneboxes are painted white instead of red as BT don't provide any service whatsoever, it's a different company (Kingston Communications)

[Dave Spacey]

About 10 years ago, my mate had to use one a few weeks ago as his phone broke, only other people i see him them are jakes, and one i walk past regularly has a bottle of bucky in it

[Chad Sexington]

BT would like to get rid of them as well but have to keep so many as part of the Universal Service Agreement

[Hannibal Lecter]

Had to use one yesterday when I was out and about as I had to make a call but realised I didn't have enough credit in my phone.

 

Noticed when I was using it that the minimum call charge from June is rising to 60p.

[Radioactive Mince]

Have only used a phonebox once to make a call in the last 5 years or so. It was a couple of months ago when my phone ran out of battery and I had to, erm, call someone. I can't remember how much it cost but I recall being quite taken aback. 50p maybe?

 

I've used them in a few other ways over the years. Pumped my gran in one when I was 17 and, on Wednesday, I shat in one outside an Asian convenience store, to send a message to the **** ****s.

 

NB - The above post is entirely serious.

[Currahee!]

I went into a phone box to phone somebody off my mobile on new years night. I only went in because it was so cold to phone in the street.

[Alex]

Tuesday, I forgot my mobile. 40p for a 20 second call!!

[80bob]

i used to raid the phone boxes at the Steel yard in Bathgate on a Sunday afternoon.

You could get a lollipop stick between the bottom of the money collecting box and the metal ledge.

Then flick the money out.

 

This was about 20 years ago, but could easily make ?10- ?15 for a few minutes work as the boxes would have been used on the Friday when the bathgate market was on then all the drinkers using them on riday and Saturday night

[loveofthegame]

Not used one in the UK in a long long time. Use them abroad though.
