Now you can make this site your own!
I am excited to open up this website to payphone enthusiasts worldwide. My goal is to make it easy for you to personalise this site and contribute your own payphone photos and telephone numbers directly.
As you may have noticed, we are hosted on Blogger, where we receive significant traffic. This makes it a prime location for your contributions. Blogger features an email post function, allowing you to submit a post by sending a correctly formatted email with your photo(s) attached.
How to post here yourself.
- Compose a new email.
- Format the subject line as follows: include the full payphone number with the international code, followed by the complete address, starting from the smallest geographical reference to the largest. For example: +442079301397, Parliament Square, Great George Street, London, SW1P 3AF, United Kingdom.
- Repeat the subject line at the beginning of the body of the message. On a new line, provide your commentary about the significance of the payphone. Explain why it is noteworthy, such as its quirky location, availability for calls, or unique features. Include links to Google Maps locations, YouTube videos, or Dropbox/Drive links for additional files. Remember, this email will be published exactly as sent, so double-check your content and spelling. If you want credit, include your name and website address at the end.
- Attach your photos (JPEGs) of the payphone in question, with a maximum total size of 5MB. If your attachment exceeds this limit, you will receive a failure notification, so please correct and resend.
- Here are the rules: do not spam, format your email/post as described, and ensure the content is relevant to payphones.
- Send the email by clicking here.
- In a few moments, your post will go live. If there are excessive spam or errors, I may need to enable moderation before posts are published. If you need to contact me for any reason, my email address is here.
I will also email all past contributors to this site, informing them of this new feature. I hope that together with them and new contributors, we can build a vibrant payphone community for ourselves and others interested in this unique aspect of communication history.
