Just Give Me a Ring

Wow- this brought back memories!

From Bill's Old Bike Barn and Museum.

Oh my goodness! Talk about a blast from the past. Terrific photo to see these phones side-by-side

[Taffy]

Sadly, I remember them all!

[Walks @ 7]

I can remember when I thought cordless landline phones were the coolest- Love the edit.

[summerfield]

what, no flip-phones? 😊

[Steve Chappell]

Great shot. Good thing they labelled that booth with "phone", kids today would never know what it is

[Nicole Campbell]

A great collection to admire

[Frances Tackaberry]

Great capture! We have an old phone booth by the ferry and I keep meaning to go check out to see if it actually works!

[Harry J Benson]

Have a few phones

[Milanie]

Nice processing, too

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

Great display, and such a nice processing job.

[Diana]

Fabulous find and edit, love the clarity on the old phone.

[Issi Bannerman]

Cool display. All those old phones!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wasn't there a song "ring, ring, why don't you give me a call" immediately came to mind

[Joan Robillard]

The cell phone keeps you from hunting these down but also means you can't be alone either.

[Bri]

Great retro shot

[Pigeons Farm]

I like how you have processed this.

[Paul]

Phone technology certainly has come a long way quickly. Nice shot of this.

Interesting capture how things have changed and so quickly these last few years.

Thanks for all the views, comments and favs!

@summerfield Those are all actual flip phones in the picture frame next to the phone booth.

@swchappell So true- and here's proof! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC1DZsuyleI

It didn't ring a bell (haha) so I looked it up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL0EoXdpOqg

@joansmor Cell phones have really changed things- and I think for the most part in a good way. I know they've come in handy for me when I've had car trouble in the middle of nowhere with no pay phones in sight!

@pej2 It sure has- but honestly, my flip phone worked better than my smart phone!

@seattlite @wendyfrost

Thank you Gloria and Wendy!

I was just reading that phone companies officially stopped putting out phone booths in 2017. I had no idea they lasted that long!

[Kathy]

Interesting display.
