LEONHART @slrpnk.net 23 0 Replyschnurrito @discuss.tchncs.de Pay phones are still common in many places around the world. An indicator may be those mapped on OSM: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/amenity=telephone#map
They are common in my country, but I hardly ever see anyone use them.

2 0 ReplyJimmyBigSausage @lemm.ee Kenroku-en Garden, The Contemporary museum, the way the trees are strung with twine during winter to prevent snow is very artful as well as the special coverings hand tied in the samurai area. The curries are very good there.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy @feddit.uk i found a working red telephone box in stratford-upon-avon last week.
most of them have been turned into defibrilator access points, or mini libraries or ripped out entirely these days.
6 0 ReplyRicky Rigatoni @lemm.ee Why different emergency number for popo?
6 1 Replyschnurrito @discuss.tchncs.de Having only one emergency number isn't the standard everywhere in the world. In my childhood here in Austria I learned that the fire department is 122, the police is 133, ambulance is 144; these numbers still work AFAIK, but nowadays the government's recommendation is to dial 112 (the EU-wide emergency number) no matter what you need.

Aesecakes @lemmy.world 15K Australian public phone booths are now Freephones and some are free wi-fi hotspots. I don’t think I’ve used one since the late 1990s, though.
