Remember these? When did you last see one?

Did you wander in to a Superman museum..

It's been ages since I saw a telephone booth.

Just last night, I saw this one . . . 

Pewter pot around 1979. This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at December 1, 2023 11:14 AM MST

  Many of the public transportation stations in San Diego, California still have working payphones, as do many hospitals, and they’re all over the city’s international airport. I last saw a payphone about two days ago.

Last month, in the parking lot of a New Hampshire state liquor store. 

There are still some public payphones scattered round the UK, but most have been closed.

BT [British Telecommunications] removes the equipment almost immediately on closure but sells the kiosks either to private buyers or to local groups like village-halls. The latter kiosks become turned into little community assets, typically informal lending/exchange libraries, or to house defibrillators.

The original use tends to be retained in rural areas with poor radio-telephone coverage; but there are still a few in urban sites.

What you also no longer see on British rural roads (unless one or two remain in very remote spots) are the Automobile Association's and Royal Automobile Club's, own, dedicated telephone kiosks linked to these two organisations' breakdown & recovery services. Members of either were issued with keys that would unlock the doors to both.
