Posted May 12, 2019 Well back in the day when my workplace had beepers, there were payphones if you were driving. Today I would venture your quarters will stay in the roll. If you did find a payphone, the neighborhood it was in might not be that safe. Plus side you would be able to talk to the girl. Con, no two call system would work unless the incall had a payphone. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never used a beeper for personal use, but I sure remember using pay phones and quarters. With regard to the hobby, we are so very lucky in today's world. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2019 Maybe you can find an arcade with pinball machines (use for roll of quarters). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With regard to the hobby, we are so very lucky in today's world. I recall stopping to buy gum, or candy, at a convenience store, to get those quarters. Yeah...it was never fun calling from a pay phone (location chosen by the lady) to get her nearby address. Especially if it was cold and rainy! I thank my lucky stars, for the ease of booking today! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
