I thought pay phones are obsolete…that is how I remember making collect calls back in the good old days.

Now everything is free Canada wide calls.

yes, I see pay phones around sometime, but if you pick up the phone, you might find it not connected at all !!! LoL

Remember having a number with a '9' or '0'...it took so long to call those digits.

Nowadays, everything is rush rush. Maybe we need a bit of patience and waiting periods if our everyday lives today,
