On a rainy and miserable Thursday night about three years ago. I'd just finished working out at the gym and when I got to my car, found it wouldn't start.  As luck would have it, I'd left my cell phone at home that night, so I had to go back into the gym and use the pay phone to call my dad to come and get me.   :-[ :-[ :-[

I was shocked when I saw how much the price of a call from a pay phone had gone up -- it was something like 60 or 70 cents for one local call.  It just wasn't my night; I didn't have a whole lot of change with me either, and I can remember trying to scrape enough together to make the phone call.

I used a pay phone about a year back, but only because I'd come out without my mobile by mistake.  Before that i hadnt used one for five years or so, and they had changed a lot - hardly even knew how to operate it, and the price had gone WAY up :o

Its been along time, I've had a cell for years. I see people using them all the time and wonder to myself in these days why would anyone ever need one, even if you can't get a regular service cell theres always the prepaid. Hell I haven't even had a home phone in a few years

Last time we used a pay phone was in the US - cos we were OS we didn't have our cell phones so about 2 years ago, before that - I cant even remember have had a cell since I was about 15.

I'd like to have someone "implant" a cell phone in it.  That would be pretty funny, walk around carrying this old rotary phone.  I suppose someone could for the right amount of $$$$.

Im not really sure when I used a payphone last.  I remember a few months ago I seen a payphone and I just picked it up to see if it still worked.....and it didnt.

My first cell phone was probably about 14 years ago....it wasnt actually a cell phone...it was a bag phone.  Remember those...yeah...but buddy...you bet your ass I was cool dude.  Cause I could drive around and talk to my friends.  Cell phones have come a long way.

I honestly can't remember when. 
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.
