We still have some here, but you can use your credit card to pay, no more coins needed.

Nostalgic! There were beepers or pagers too. It certainly made things a little easier back then.

The pager is the most prone to security issues.

@florelway A good while ago, there were no cell phones. So most people used them.

Yup! Only I usually wasn't carrying coins so I had to call collect and pay for the call when the bill came in for it.
