C'mon we should brainstorm this.

For nostalgia purposes. It seems a waste to have perfectly good phone booths everywhere with nobody ever using them.

Edit: example: a lot of people don't know that Telstra phone booths will take incoming calls. You can call one phone booth from another phone booth for example. Could be an interesting way to organise some kind of ... alternate reality game.

I heard the number shows up when you are called, it's not private. That's probably why. I didn't know you could text from a payphone though!

You can send SMSs but the experience is a bit dated since the phones are all probably from the early 2000s. It's much like sending a text on an old Nokia phone.
