Did You Ever Answer A Public Pay Phone That Was Ringing?

Many times in the past.

Only because her husband wants to know who she is phoning.:) :) :)
 

One time not long ago, I went to another city and my friend asked me to call her when I arrived. I pulled into a mall and went all over that mall looking for a phone and there wasn't one. I don't have a cell phone. I had to ask three different people if they would make the call for me or let me, before one of them would agree to help me out.

Sad isn't it and makes it so you have no choice but to have a cell in this day and age. I've never refused to let someone make a call from my cell when they were in such need. And I've had no qualms about asking others if for some reason I were in an emergency situation, like times when I've left my phone in a car service and needed to locate it or other such situations. I don't ask why they need to make the call and most times they will recite the number for me to dial and stay put and converse right in front of my eyes and earshot. But then, I don't live in a big city and there's really no where to run off with my cheesy little phone. That last part was an after thought, I know some people might have to be a little more cautious about handing over their iphones to a stranger on a city street or some such place. But mostly, I've never given it a second thought, even when I did live in a larger city, still, though, had a cheapy phone.
 
Yes, and it was God wanting to know what was happening on earth at the time as he was busy in other parts of the universe...
 
Hardly anyone seemed to have a mobile phone when I left the US early in 2000. My boss had one and maybe a few others than I knew of. I arrived in the UK and it seemed everybody age 8 and up had a phone. All the schoolkids on the trains had them. That's the first time I got one and it was necessary.

And in the UK, unlike the US, you never pay for incoming calls. I don't understand that?
 
I haven't seen a public pay phone in years. They used to be hand in a sudden rainstorm. Also now gone are the call boxes on the freeways I drive. Cell Phones brought about the change.
