@neil wait does the phone card one mean the type for payphones, or does it include cards used to top up PAYG mobile phones? cos I definitely used the latter.

@gsuberland Ooh, good clarification. I was meaning in the context of a payphone here.

@neil Most of these. Not sure about the phone card. I don't *think* so, but I'm not entirely sure.
I've talked to operators but I don't think been routed from one system to another, unless this includes dialling 9 to dial out, or being forwarded by a receptionist?
Never received a phone call in a phone booth, but used to use them regularly to call parents as a child and teenager.
