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

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

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.
