Payphone number search engine
This is pretty cool -- it's a website devoted to pay phones. I never even use one, since I'm addicted to my cell phone. But they are still all over the city, even though they probably lose money. To bad the US pay phones aren't cool little boxes with porn postcards like they are in London.
One of the draws of this site is that it lets you call random people passing by pay phones. You REALLY need to have free time and no life to do that. On second thought, it might make a good drinking game: Do a shot, call a phone, etc.
Besides letting you find the number for random payphones, this site lets you look up callers who have called you. I get a few odd calls on my 800-line from payphones, and I'd like to know where they are calling from (in case they start to stalk me).
There's a cool NYTimes article about it. It's here:
