Pay telephones: When is the last time you used one?

By Times staff | Saturday, February 02, 2008

The pay telephone seems to be an endangered species. Once omnipresent, the convenience supplied by the phone companies is getting harder to find. As part of a story on this phenomenon, we'd like to hear from and talk to some readers about pay phone memories, such as the most important call you ever made from one, a time when you needed one and couldn't find one or a time when a handy pay phone came to your rescue. And, in this era of the cell phone, tell us how long has it been since you last used a pay phone.
