Payphone

Okay kiddo, let's talk about payphones! Do you know what a phone is? It's a device that lets you talk to someone who is far away. Well, a payphone is a special kind of phone that you can find on the street or in public places like train stations or airports.

You might have seen a payphone before, it usually has a long cord you can pull down and a little slot where you can put coins or cards. It looks different from the phones we have at home or on our mobile phones because it's a bit older and not as shiny or colorful!

To use a payphone, you need to put some money in it first. This is because it costs money to use the phone line and call someone. You can usually use coins or a special phone card to make calls. Once you've put in the money, you can dial the number you want to call and start talking!

Payphones used to be really popular before we all started using mobile phones. They were the only way to call someone when you were out and about without needing a landline or a home phone. Now, there are not as many payphones around because most people have their own mobile phones.

So, that's payphones explained in a nutshell. They're a special kind of phone you can find on the street or in public places, where you put money in to make calls. They used to be popular but not as much anymore since mobile phones have become so common!
