Where can you receive an incoming call on a public phone?

Asked by colliedog (922points) December 9th, 2009

I’m in NYC and I need to let someone call me on a public phone. Most phones seem to prevent this these days. Actually I don’t even know where to find a public phone. Are there any last bastions of hope for those of us who don’t carry cellphones around?

You mean after Phone Booth? Heh, public phones still allow calls here in the UK I think.

Get them to call you at a bar maybe?

A Flutherite from NYC will probably give you a better idea. :)
