I have on only because my work requires it ( and "they" pay for it, too!). Yes, I too have had to ring it to find it.

Alan, public telephones are quickly becoming a thing of the past around here! Once they were everwhere! We are slowly being forced to "go cellular" as the public phones disappear. To top it all off, on many of my road trips, there is absolutely no reason to have the darned cell phone because there is no service in the area!

I hate 'em!!
