They weren't quite ubiquitous anymore, but looking for a payphone wasn't a sign of someone being a time traveler. The last one near me hung on until a couple years ago.

    There's a payphone by one of the elementary schools here. I wonder if it's more likely that a kid without a cellphone is more likely to use it?

    Here in Australia, they are all free now. I presume the phone company realised nobody was using them and preferred to keep them as free billboard spaces.
