AT&T To make pay-phones extinct by end of 2008
AT&T is going to phase out the last of it's remaining pay-phones in only 13 remaining states by the end of 2008. It's strange to think about it, since they have been in use for over 100 years (the first being installed in Chicago). But the truth of the matter is that they are extinct. I can't remember the last time I used a pay-phone....every one has a cell-phone these days. But it still makes one stop and think....it really is a big part of history.
