Penn Station Payphone User. June, 2012.
Penn Station Payphone User. June, 2012.
This looks like an image from an earlier generation. The harried businessman traveling through New York rushes to a payphone at a busy transit hub and consults his notes, looking for a phone number. Unfortunately the year is 2012, and this man is out of luck. He is trying to find a working payphone at New York City's Penn Station.

Just Give Me a Phone That Lets Me Make a Telephone Call
Some people complain when their Galaxy Note is bigger than their face. Others complain when their smartphone outsmarts them. Others are happy to use any phone that works, even an uncomfortable payphone like this that just works even if it has no cover on the earpiece.

No More Working Verizon Payphones at Times Square Subway Station
I felt bad for this guy. In the Times Square subway station he was trying to find a working public telephone. The first phone ate his money. The second one had no dial tone. He approached an NYPD police officer to ask where he could find a working payphone. The police officer responded by saying "There's a couple over there". The man went "over there" and found these 2 payphones. Do you see those rectangles surrounding the payphones he is attempting to use? Those rectangles represent Verizon payphones that have been removed. This man tried to use a public telephone but had no luck. Neither the payphone here or the one to the right worked. Thanks, Verizon!
A Family Affair
This Times Square payphone call looked like a family affair. The phone was passed among all, to speak to who we don't need to know. It is nice to see that a family from places far away was able to communicate over one of the very few working public telephones in Times Square.

Best Yet Supermarket, Abandoned Payphone.
The old payphone at Best Yet stands in a surprisingly busy spot. Surprising because you would think someone would have noticed by now that this thing doesn't work.

The old payphone hasn't worked for years, but it still looks good.

This payphone at Astoria Park had no dial tone when I encountered it in mid-June, 2012. I once used this phone to call 311 to report a dead cat on Hoyt Avenue. I was on hold for a very long time before giving up. (718) 728-9396 payphone location originally listed on the Payphone Project.

On the day of the east coast earthquake cell phones did not work and public phones were hard to find. This woman may not have realized it at the time but right after the earthquake she had the only working telephone at ground level in Queens Plaza. Other payphones were above ground or below ground. Whilst waiting for the aftershocks of an earthquake the only place most human beings want to be is on the ground..
