PayPhoneBox Photo Library

I get many requests for my photos and to see a list of just photos that are on the site here. Well here it is. The album in which all the photos from this site are listed on. Surf them to your hearts content. If you would like to use any of them please contact me first as they are not all my photos.

Click for index of all the site's payphone photos.

I would like to point out that you can easily search for photos via the site's search engine and this will provide more context than just viewing the photos alone. Things like country and commentary around each photo can be found this way.

Please send in your payphone numbers and pictures. Visit this link for more info, it's easy.

Here we have a while host of working phone numbers +442072651062,
+442072651063, +442074806055, +442074806050, +442074806053, at this
beautiful little central London trainstation terminus. Best time to
call is during morning and evening rush hours. Evenings are perhaps a
little better as you get people wating around more than in the
mornings. Be warned though that this model of payphones does not ring
very loud.

+442077344784, Phonebox in London's Chinatown, Gerrard Street, London, W1D 6JA, United Kingdom

A very special contribution here to this site. +442077344784 is a
totally callable payphone in the middle of London's Chinatown. The
icon British telephone box in this special case as a class panel
decorated with a Chinese dragon. The booth finds itself amist a
working market street with produce beiing delivered all throughout the
day. There are also many celebrations and protests taking place here.

This booth was featured here on this very site before back in 2011
here http://www.payphonebox.com/2011/02/442077344784-uk-england-london-gerrad.html.
The street used to have even more authentic BT public telephone
booths. You can see a photo of the old booth on the 2011 link for this
booth. Good however to still see this one in place and working still.

+498964980781, Luitpoldweg, Munich, 82031 Grünwald, Germany

Unfortunately and as is the case with most German payphone numbers,
+498964980781 does not accept incoming calls. Never the less this is a
beautiful part of Bavaria and is close to the city of Munich.

A Good Use Still for a Phonebooth

Me taking shelter in a Russell Square phonebooth in London. The was a
torrential but brief downpoor that cuaght me and a lot of other people
off guard.

Two Lonely Booths

Two lonely emergency telephobe booths by a South Munich (Germany)
underpass. I wonder too myself with the presense of mobile phones how
needed this service is needed just as payphones are.

+442076293780, Staff Area, "A" Staircase, 6th Floor, John Lewis, 300 Oxford Street London, W1C 1DX

Nice little addition here. +442076293780 is a working callable payphone! What's best is that it rings loud and any staff member waiting for the lift positioned opposite or merely walking past will hear it. Like in all workplaces, staff are trained to answer ringing phones, so it'll be hard for them to resist answering. Give this a call and please let us know if you get any asnwers in the comments section below.

+57317469691, Public Departures, Eldorado Airport, Bogotá, Colombia

Sweet little Payphone standing alone at a main entrance to the airport's departure terminal. Gets a lot of traffic passing by at busy times. As will most Colombian payphones the number works and calls can be made but the payphone will show no sign of an incoming call.

+34913338439, Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, Spain

No incoming calls but still a fine example of payphones still seeing good use.
