There's a free public telephone system based here in Portland called Futel because of course there is.
It's part art installation, part political statement, part public service.
Just one of the many things I love about Portland.

that is a very impressive set of hardware! #futel would be proud. i have a bunch of questions, especially about some of the terminals there. very cool. 🤓
aside: i was involved with the (sony brand) webtv, kinda tangentially, when it was shipping.

There are both old dial-up and touch-tone payphones. And RandTel even offers 3-way calling via the old "hook flash" method. Pepperidge Farm remembers!
Old payphones get new life, thanks to Vermont engineer 📞
Patrick Schlott fixes up and installs old payphones in Vermont communities where people need to place calls—after making a key modification to remove the need for coins.
