Posted: Sat Nov 29, 2008 2:52 pmIf you enlarge the pucture it says:" No Coin Accepted" on the Left side of the booth. Does that mean it's free or do you have to use a credit card?
Posted: Sat Nov 29, 2008 9:30 pmThat's a good question. It appears to be in the countryside - perhaps it is free.
Posted: Sun Nov 30, 2008 8:17 amAll out of order phone boxes have "no coins accepted" on the side of them. Or most do anyway...
Posted: Sun Nov 30, 2008 12:58 pmYou think they would just disconnect it and take it away...
Posted: Sun Nov 30, 2008 5:58 pmim surprised it hasnt been stolen, those old phone booths are quite valuable these days.
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2008 3:02 amLol, Lord Collinson, is there something you are hinting at?
Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2008 11:01 amSometimes rural telephone boxes still work but only to 999/911 numbers. No coins are required to make an emergency call.
Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 9:42 pmI have a charge card that is linked to my home telephone account which is kept in the car for emergencies.
The card seems to work with the "No Coins Accepted" box near to my home - ive not had to try a very rural one, will bear Lady Lauras post in mind next time i use the charge card.

I have seen both Telephone Booths & Royal Mail Boxes on Ebay... they go for several hunders and even thousands of pounds depending on condition
I wonder if it is legal for them to be selling these on ebay!!!!
Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2009 1:30 amI wonder if I bought one of those, if they would get me into the Ministry of Magic. But it is a shame that they are being sold away from Britain.
