@liaizon i'm always questing for the still-working payphone, but i think it's been at least a couple years since my last encounter.

@brennen I guess most of the infrastructure is probably gone by now

The special linecards at the Telephone Exchange to send the metering pulses are likely to be decomissioned as everything switches from the old TDM kit to VOIP - I've not ever encountered a VOIP channel bank that can produce meter pulses and am unsure if such a thing even exists.

Its more common for the whole telephone set to be removed when payphone service is ceased in case someone expects it to be working for calling 190/112 (emergency numbers)
