Payphones are still commonplace throughout Montreal -- not as common as they once were, but you can still generally find one when you need it.
Rates for local calls made from Bell public payphones:
1946 to 1952 ------> 5¢
1952 to 1974 ------>10¢
1974 to 1981 ------>20¢
1981 to 2007 ------>25¢
2007 to Present --->50¢
A tenfold climb in six decades!

Can't imagine making a five cent phone call. I remember when it was ten cents though. It's interesting to see these phones all together like this. The pay phones here are disappearing.
Not so much here.
I can't remember the last time I saw one.
aah inflation!
What are those? PAY telephones? Really? I wonder how much business they get.....
