Where to
find a
117$ pay phone.
The cost of making a local call from some
pay phones ,in your local calling area has
increased to 20 cents, But there are still a lot
of 10 cent pay phones around, And we'd like to
tell you where you can find them.
The 100 Pay Phone
Generally, you'll find these phones on municipal
sidewalks, in railway stations and bus terminals..
Pay phones in hospitals, nursing homes,
rooming houses and churches will also
remain at 10 cents.
The 200 Pay Phone
Pay phones in most other locations, such as
hotels, airports and restaurants,
go up to 20 cents.
Emergency calling
At the same time, a new service will be added
to all outdoor pay phones. What this added
service does is enable you to reach the Operator,
Directory Assistance and Repair Service
without depositing a coin.
Instructional cards
From now on, when you're calling from a
pay phone, look for the information card above
the dial. It clearly tells you whether it's a
10 cent or 20 cent pay phone.
