You could find one at the Parksville medical center and one at the Parksville City hall/tec center. I think we still use 411 here but there is a fifty cent charge when you use it. Cheers!
They are not obsolete. Perhaps where you live, but not nationally. True only about 100,000 remain. The only thing that makes a pay phone a payphone is the actual device. It uses a regular landline. Little country stores and bait shops often still have a payphone. It's their business phone and might generate a little cash. I actually used my own advice and found four payphones in my area.
