Talk:Telephone booth

message: The "Paying for the Call" section seems very US-centric -- it doesn't seem to apply, for instance, to the pay telephones of Paris as I recall them. --Calieber 18:40, 4 Oct 2003 (UTC)

message: "Superman and his anthropomorphic parody Underdog have often been depicted as changing from their secret identities into their superhero counterparts in telephone booths. Phone booths are not the most practical of places for effecting a change of costume for those unendowed with superpowers. Even the superheroes can be confounded — in the 1978 film Superman, Christopher Reeve's Superman comically discovers during an emergency that the local pay phones are the open-kiosk style."
Almost no examples exist in the periodicals of Superman changing clothes in a phonebooth. The misconception comes from the Fleishcer cartoons-when phonebooths were wooden, not transparent.
:Even so, the date of that movie - and the humor of that scene - shows the error in the assertion that Starting in the 1980s pay telephones were less and less commonly placed in booths., which I am now changing to read 1970s. --Keeves 17:44, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I'd really love more proof that anyone in Australia has ever called a phone booth a "telephone box" as per this article. Even my grandparents, who have lived in Australia all their lives call it a booth — and as for it being called a box in the UK, I haven't heard the term until now.
One source from 2012 is surely not enough to claim, "in the Commonwealth of Nations" it is called a "box", let alone say "it is", unqualified by at least "sometimes".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polarbear ed (talk • contribs) 14:46, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Telephone box, what? 

message: Sweden section tells about a study which informs that "only" 1% had used a pay phone in 2013. That equals to about 100 000 people which would be an amazing amount and probably would have been more than enough to keep them in use. 85.76.47.102 (talk) 13:50, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

message: The intro includes doors as an integral part of telephone booths, but look at the photos near the bottom of the article:  These outdoor pay-phone facilities are mostly or all doorless.  Either they are not booths or the introduction should be changed.  In discussing the doors, it should be explained how many or most of them  at least in the U.S. close, to wit in an unfolding fashion.Kdammers (talk) 13:21, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
