I love the free aspect, but no way in hell would I trust the charging port. Too vulnerable to tampering for my taste.

Same rule for sex and phones, always use protection before plugging it into an unknown hole

Got one near my place here in Brisbane.

Some of these old payphones in NZ also provide public WiFi and if you've got a phone plan with the company you get free internet with them. Not sure if that's still a thing though.
