Oh hey it’s Neil
The real deal.
Amazing that a phone booth exists in the age of mobile phones.
If Telstra wasn’t obligated to provide them I’m sure they wouldn’t exist anymore, but I do still see the occasional person at one (particularly after calls were changed to be free from them).
They keep them because in urban areas they are valuable advertising space. It costs SFA to keep the line connected and the booth powered, and for that they get like 5 square metres of prime advertising real estate on public land.
I’ve had to use one because of reception issues where I live. It’s a beneficial service.
Especially yesterday
Honestly, the only phone number I could call would be my own mobile. It’s the only number I now know.
Or 000
What about 0118 999 88199 9119 725 3 ?
