Remember payphones? That clunky box you’d dig for quarters to use? Well, one electrical engineer in rural Vermont is giving them a glow-up—and honestly, it’s kind of amazing. 💁♀️📞
He’s buying old payphones for a few hundred bucks, adding a little tech magic to hook them up to the internet, and installing them in places where cell service is spotty (because yes, those places still exist!). The best part? They’re totally free to use. No coins, no cards, just pick up and dial. 🙌
One of the most-used phones is outside a local library, where kids call their parents for rides. It’s giving big “Mom, can you come get me?” energy. 🚌📲
And get this—if you dial zero, it rings straight to the engineer’s personal cell. Yep, he’s the operator too. 😂
He covers the $10/month admin fee for each phone himself, just because he wants to help. It’s a little retro, a little genius, and a whole lot of heart. 💛
