The pay phones don't have to be removed - just remove the ability to make
incoming calls. Slows the drug dealers quite a bit.

The phones are removed because of little use. (And makes folks buy cell
phones which make more money for the companies.)

I didn't say "their phone", I said, "a dang phone". Meaning, any phone

determined to make a call.

Not alot of payphones left in Louisiana, Bellsouth has removed them due to
lack of usage, or the police have requested their removal due to drug
deals. Most businesses don't allow people off the street to use their
phone. How well do you kneaux your neighbors?
