Coins please, sir

dial tone, dial number please

look who's calling.

(Not many of these phones left in society as whole. Remember when there were phone booths pretty much on each corner or so. Had to make sure you had enough change to use them though. I remember when people used dimes for a call, but actually when I had to use one it was a quarter for a few minutes. Sometimes you had to ask the operator to hold if you were looking for more change and if you couldn't you were disconnected.)

    I used pay phones many a time, too, but you do not see them like you once did.
