an enclosed place with a public phone that someone can pay to use
A phone booth is a small, enclosed space designed for making phone calls, typically found in public places. It contains a telephone, usually a payphone, where individuals can make local or long-distance calls. Phone booths were commonly used before the widespread use of mobile phones, offering a convenient way for people to make calls when away from home. They were often equipped with a glass or metal door for privacy, though their use has declined with the rise of mobile phone technology. Some phone booths have been repurposed for other uses or are preserved as historical landmarks.
