There are hardly any pay phones around anymore. There used to be lots.
Now there's almost none. Sure, the little booths that say "phone" are
still
there, but the actual phones are not.


Here that has led to people putting in private pay phones in their store
or restaurant. Some places that have seating or displays outside, such as
the corner "minimarket" have them outside. However as soon as they close,
the phone goes into the store and is locked up for the night.

Of course we don't have the street crime problem the US has.
