If Telstra wasn't obligated to provide them I'm sure they wouldn't exist anymore, but I do still see the occasional person at one (particularly after calls were changed to be free from them).

They keep them because in urban areas they are valuable advertising space. It costs SFA to keep the line connected and the booth powered, and for that they get like 5 square metres of prime advertising real estate on public land.

I've had to use one because of reception issues where I live. It's a beneficial service.

Honestly, the only phone number I could call would be my own mobile. It's the only number I now know.

Or 000
