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.

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.
+14162509753 and +14162509790, 3253 Bayview Ave, North York, Ontario, M2M Canada
Big thanks to Scott for these two Bell payphones next to a soon to be developed condo building. The one on the left has perfect call quality, while the one on the right has a lot of static (+14162509753 and +14162509790).
+57317420274 & +57317423625, Gates 31, 32 and 33, Departures, Eldorado Airport, Bogotá, Colombia
Very busy pair of payphones here by this very busy departure gate. The numbers work and the payphones are callable. The bad news is that they do not ring or show any sign of an incoming call. If someone's was to answer whilst the Payphone is being called, you will be able to hear each other like normal. This is a sad fact of the majority of payphones in Colombia. Never the less this Payphone is still a busy one.
Penny Coin Box on Display in London
Just happened to discover this treasure in a BT Openreach (permanent) exhibition at the London Museum. Great to see such an important artefact in flesh. The museum is free and you'll find it in the depths of the basement. This I suppose, is where the payphone started.
