Telephones help people speak to one another when they are apart. For more than a hundred
years, nearly every telephone was a landline. A landline telephone is one that needs to be connected
by a wire to a network of other telephones. Because of the wires, people could not take those
telephones with them when they left their homes or offices.
What if you had to make a call while you were away from home? You had to find a pay phone.
Pay phones are landlines found in public places. Many pay phones are on the street. You can make a
call from inside a glass or metal space called a phone booth. Once you are inside the booth, you put
coins into a slot in the phone to make a call.
