A payphone is a public telephone that requires the user to pay in order to make a call. Typically, users insert coins, tokens, or a prepaid card into the machine to cover the cost of the call. Payphones were commonly found in public spaces such as streets, airports, bus stations, and shopping centers, providing an option for communication when people were away from their personal phones. While their use has declined with the widespread availability of mobile phones, payphones are still available in some places, especially in emergencies or locations with limited mobile coverage.
