+442077035010, Payphone next to Car's empty shell, Outside Elephant and Castle Train Station, Elephant and Castle, London, UK, SE1 6TB

What a cool addition from here in London, UK! A place that has tight regular, you can find the front half of a dismantled car right next to a phone box on the street. The bad news is that you're unlikely to get an answer calling this payphone. The phone booth stunk of urine and was dirty all over. So doubt anyone would use even if their call were important.

Bet you don't see this everyday!?

Thanks to @TimelineMadness from Twitter, for bringing this to our attention.
I think that the scene, (fat lady standing atop a payphone) would have been made even more unusual had someone called the payphone at this very moment.

Another good one from this shopping centre. This time it's bang smack next to a cafe with seats nearby too. The thing that struck me about this one, is that on the same pillar there was a strange device! It was a rapid mobile phone charger! At the bottom of the device was a little flap that revealed connections for all sorts of mobiles. I guess it's another sign of the payphones demise that people are looking for a means to charge their mobiles rather than use the payphones of old to make their connections with people.

This is a nice addition to the site. Positioned in a heavy footfall part of this iconic shopping centre in a rough area of South London. For Years now, the shopping centre has been falling into decline and disrepair, but is still the main place for locals to complete their shopping. The payphone is the middle, just next to a main staircase. You often get people resting in this area too. With the numbers of passersby here and the good volume of it's ring, this payphone should at main times get you an answer. Good luck.

Mexican Payphone, Cabo San Lucas

Interesting looking phone box with the logo "CaseFone". Looks like a private rather than Telemex owned phone booth. Interesting shot showing you the scene from the inside a pharmacy in this Seaside resort, looking out with the booth right next to a Doritos stand.

Many thanks to @pst2 over on twitter for this.

+18163471632, Payphone at Amtrak Train Station, Lee's Summit, Missouri, USA

Rang about 4 or 5 times when I tried it. Someone waiting for a train, or getting off a train, or waiting in the shelter might hear it and answer. On the Missouri River Runner route from Kansas City to St Louis. You can track the status of arriving  and departing trains on the Amtrak site. Trains often arrive late due to freight train traffic.

+442074092483, Payphone at 327 Oxford Street, London, W1C 2HU

Unfortunately, the payphone does not accept incoming calls. But is interesting as it's situated in a side alley just of the busy shopping street that is Oxford Street. Also it's been subject to some vandalism with it's panel being kicked off letting us take a look at it's innards.
