Payphone Q's

Dan_G_2

Just some rather sad and old fashioned ideas I had at work... When you stuff in the 30p to get a call box working, I found I could stay calling a land line for about 15 mins. Howlong will it keep going for to a mobile? I mean on my phone cross network 30p would last all of 50 seconds!

And, what happens if your in a call box, and reverse charge call another call box at a prearranged time? Would it be a free call or have people wised up to it?
Thanks!

When you call from a call box the Caller ID on the other person's phone will say "payphone" - not withheld or the number of the box. Therefore I presume the operators will know what phones are payphones and will know not to put a reverse charge call through.
