There is a payphone on Cliffe Street in Rishton or maybe ask a friend to let you use their landline, can't see why not if it is freephone:)

will check it out today but my point is what if some one needs to make a 999 call yes lots of peaple of mobile phones but not every one

Re: Pay phones
 

See what you mean but surely again you know a neighbour/friend who would let you use their landline or even a passer by would ring 999 on their mobile, it is free to them so can't see it being a problem

Re: Pay phones
 

To be fair to BT, the phone boxes at the top and bottom of Dill Hall Lane, where I spend some of my time, are always being vandelised. That and the fact that most people have mobile phones these days means it is not worth spending money on a Payphone that no one uses. Sad really.

Your right , i live not so far off from the top one of Dill Hall Lane and everytime i pass it the glass is either broke or the door has been taken and the phones dangling on the floor! :enough:
