I explained what it was and we took turns listening to the dial tone. I put some quarters in and called my cell phone to show her how it worked. Nostalgia: Early 1960s near Liverpool UK. Being taken up the street to the phone booth to learn how to make a phone call (coins, dial number, press A button, talk, hang up, press B button to claim any leftover coins). Big thing when you are 6 years old.
