The Loneliest Phone Booth on Earth

Mojave phone booth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

See if you get a cell phone signal out here the next time you're in the area.


"HELLO HELLO .................... CAN YOU HEAR ME {{{ NOW }}}"

Here's a couple of pictures of British phone booths that I had taken while staying on the Queen Mary in Long Beach CA.





I tried but couldn’t get rid of the glare from the plexiglass. This is the old switchboard on the Queen Mary.

Oh my gosh, best laugh I had in a long time.

Thanks for posting that!

Loved this part:
"I'm not real comfortable with any of this." Yeah, sort of like when all telemarketers call me! Getting a taste of his own medicine, priceless. I could never do that for a living under any circumstance.
Special note is that the caller lied from the get-go. He asked for what he got.

Mid 1980 Cell Phone.. you had a strap that went over your shoulder... 2-4 hours of usable.. and as I remember a operator connected you... no texting or tweeting .... no photo's.. and it's weight was 10--12 pounds..
