What's a payphone? Payphones are phones found in public that are coin operated. You insert quarters, dimes or nickels and can make a call anywhere after inserting the coins and dialing a number.
Payphones used to be found all over the place but are disappearing very rapidly.
Most businesses these days have removed them from their establishments by now.
At /r/Payphones, we're here to remind people of their endangered existence and soon to be extinct existence.
They're a technology that should be used more often.
We allow pics, videos and discussions, and news about payphones including abandoned ones.

P'Town is for Payphones
I live in Norfolk, VA, which has become a payphone desert since 2020. In neighboring Portsmouth, two PTS phones are in service at the telephone exchange building (808 High St., (757)-399-9900) and outside City Hall (711 Crawford St., (757)-399-9797). Last year, I relocated my payphone from Norfolk to Portsmouth (806 Scott St., (757)-393-0705) due to site redevelopment.

ETS Payphones inc
There is a payphone outside a pawn shop I offered to buy they said they would sell it but don't think they own it. It doesn't have a dial tone and the company listed on it was ets payphones Inc. The 1800 number doesn't work. The company seems to no longer exist but I can't find much about it online. Did someone buy all these up or does it default to the shop?.
