    Fess Up, who smashed their County into a payphone

    I can understand frustration with Telstra but why risk damage to the Landy

    Information sought around pay phone crash

    Do you think Crime Stoppers would appreciate a call to let them know it's a 110, and a County but not a Defender.
    Or am I being a pedantic rivet counter Fess Up, who smashed their County into a payphone

    Maybe he thought that he could get mobile phone reception by collecting the phone box

    I could jokingly suggest it was just a failed ram raid for the coinage in the machine and the County driver is a retired school teacher, but I saw a similar booth at Hattah in northern Vic last week that said all calls within Oz were free, courtesy of Telstra.

    Back there next week for a fish survey, might take a pic.

    Yes, when I worked for telstra I spent 10 years , installing and repairing payphones, and then later pulling out payphones as mobile phones came into vogue, I'm talking 25 -30 years ago now , even then it would have been cheaper to make calls free, as vandalism and repairing coin mechanisms cost more than they earned.
