Smile and Dial - Payphone Sighting
It's not too often you see a pay-phone these days.
But a couple of them still exist in the city. Not that I've ever seen someone talk on one.
This woman seems much happier using her own device.
Now, is she using it to communicate, or to take pictures?
The way she's smiling, I think she may just have taken mine.

She looks so happy! Did you smile at her? Or made some funny faces? ^^
I think she was reacting to something she saw on her phone, and then just happened to glace my way. But I'd like to think everyone smiles like this when they see me coming!
I used to select which truckstop that I'd stop at for food based upon the availablity of table phones...(kinda like pay phones)...
Then along came cell phones and another business bit the dust..
pay phones pretty much went away
(I knew a guy who was in that business...he had to find something else)
been years and years since I saw a payphone.
There was something about the anonymity of putting in a coin to make a call, wasn't there? And knowing that your voice was more important than the meta-data.
no such thing as 'metadata' back then.
and there was no choice about anonymity....
tracing a call took skill and time.

This could be an advert. Now, with the convenience of a payphone, "Steemit Phone" : bring the pay phone along with you.
I miss the old payphones, particularly if you were making a call you wanted to not be 'known'. Though I seldom had enough quarters. Last time I was in New Zealand, they had card phones. Wish we had those now here. Though that WOULD be traceable. But fewer quarters...
