Are phone-boxes generally gone in the USA? There are about 16,000 payphones in Australia, and Telstra, their operator, would love to ditch them, but there's a huge stink every time they suggest it. It's a legacy from when Telstra was Telecom Australia, the government telecommunications monopoly, so politically Telstra is forced to have a "universal service obligation".

I haven't seen one in about 15 years. Probably for the best, since I can remember all of about three phone numbers since I'm used to just using my contact list.

Phone boxes are very much gone in the US. You might see the old shell types outside older gas stations, but 99% of those don't have working phones in them (mostly due to vandalism).
