PayPhoneBox

+4989216193, Taxi Rank, Notburgastraße, Nymphenburg, Munich, Germany

An awesome one here to prank. There's nearly always a queue of local taxis waiting her for a job. Calling the number makes the box at the rank ring. The driver of the first taxi will spring to get out and answer it.

+4420885649953, Seating Area Near WH Smith, Gate Level, Terminal 2, The Queen's Terminal, Heathrow Airport, London, United Kingdom

My best gate side payphone here yet. Payphone is positioned right next to the seating area. Time this right and they'll be loads of anxious passengers waiting to board their flight. The ringing will be hard to ignore.

+442087591693 & +442088974743, O/S The Perfectionist Cafe, Terminal 2, The Queen's Terminal, Heathrow Airport, London, United Kingdom.

Two great payphones with working telephone numbers just by a seating area in this busy airport terminal.

+442079308998, Charing Cross Subway, Strand, London, WC2N 5HS, United Kingdom

Loved how someone took it upon themselves to box off this payphone with street signs. The payphone is in a destitute location and it's ring will be heard by people leaving the Charing Cross tube station. It's very close to another payphone which I listed here in the same subway ( http://www.payphonebox.com/2011/08/442079308998-strand-charing-cross.html?m=1 ).

+442087699765, OS 374A, Kiosk, IPCO, Streatham High Road, London, SW16 6HO

Spotted this phone box on a nice sunny day. Had two guys rolling carpets beside it. Think it's a regular occurrence, seeing as it's right by a carpet shop. The corner the phone box stands on is very busy as there's an important station right around the other side of it. Great for rush hour calling.

Call-girl Cards on Tottenham Court Road, London, United Kingdom

Witnessed this guy walking the length of Tottenham Court Road in London, visiting each payphone in order and sticking of host these notorious call-girl cards in each of the boxes.

Payphone Bank at Arrivals, Narita Airport, Tokyo, Japan

Coming straight out of the arrivals gate you'll see this first row of awesome Japanese payphone. I pictured this tourist take a few trials in using one. He did eventually make his call and demonstrates that payphones are at least still needed in airports. I never worked out the public numbers to dial into these payphones despite seeing numbers on some information cards. If anyone knows how to decipher these and figure out the numbers, please let me know.
