Here is an ordinary Russian street phone. He installed not long ago. About 8 years ago all the villages of Russia has established these devices. Then the mobile network functioned poorly in rural areas and was established these means of communication. They work now. But in my village, nobody uses them, mobile phones have become for us familiar and the connection works fine. Therefore, such street telephones are idle. You can see how dilapidated they are all covered with a thick layer of dust and spider webs. Paint peeling and faded. But he's still alive! Bringing this huge up to your ear, I hear beeps.

However, it is not easy to call from that phone. For this you need to purchase a special card that you put into a hole. Well I will go shopping in search of her. None of the stores these cards for a long time already do not sell. The lack of demand. Only in the post office I found some telephone cards available. The price surprised me: 1 hour of talk costs $ 5! It is much more expensive mobile calls! So expensive and useless phone. Well, at least it was useful in order to capture it for the contest! Now he became not only expensive, but also famous, saw him Steemians all over the world!
