    Yeah those Bell phones (and some Telus ones in Western Canada) are still in many places surprisingly, but increasingly rare and I haven’t seen any one use one in Canada for years.

    A couple non-Bell ones I know of in downtown Toronto still operate somehow.

    Also it’s kind of neat to see places with payphones where you know they were used way more often before, like Portland [Oregon] Union Station. I could imagine people getting off a train forming lines to try to send word home they made it into town…
