@wezm @sizzle Payphones still exist in Australia?
Show threadWesley MooreApr 23
@charette yeah they have been left around the place. They're free to use now, and many can provide a free Wi-Fi connection too.

@wezm Canada missed out on that. All payphones were removed many years ago. Cannot even remember when I last saw one.

@charette @wezm I did see a photo from an airport in Canada that still had a payphone. That was a few years ago, so not sure if the phone still exists.

@wezm @sizzle this seems like it's just Ingress except the phone you play on is different
