The phonebox is dead. Long live the phonebox.
BT has announced that it will be replacing its famous and much-revered red boxes with new kiosks. Those kiosks won’t allow people to hide in them, but will otherwise offer the modern version of phonebox technology – super fast Wi-Fi, free calls and chargers for phones, instead of traditional handsets.
The new kiosks will start opening up on major high streets in London from next year. They’ll eventually roll out to the rest of the country – though there’ll be fewer of them than there are traditional phone boxes


The new Links will be paid for with money from advertising that will go on the Links.

Is this a problem for you ? It's not for me - haven't used a box in the last 20 years.

Does anyone know how much we all subsidise each phone box ?

They really can't be cheap to keep maintained if next to no one uses them

Not for a phonecall maybe but remember they did close most of the public toilets round here a decade or more ago. :rotfl:

The daft thing is that they are even considering removing the ones where there is zero mobile signal for miles.

The public phone boxes throughout my area are used as defibrillator stations.
