[OPLINTECH] Pay Phones

[Bob Neeper]

I think this is the scenario for us.

We had a pay phone for years but with cell phones the usage kept dropping.
Finally, the telephone company said is wasn't enough revenue to justify them 
keeping it in place.

It wasn't cheap,but we bought for the patron's to use.
Our cost kept rising us as the use dropped even more so finally we removed it.

Now, if a patron absolutely needs to call someone, we will dial the number on a 
staff line for them to use.
That insures it is just a local call.

As cell phones are so prevalent, this has worked quite well.
We might get 1 request a week as an average.
