And the CRTC govt link: https://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/publications/reports/rp150226a.htm

Using a public phone was no different that using a pubic toilet. Back in the 80's I lived in downtown Toronto and there were Bell payphones everywhere... banks and banks of them... these days it's like finding a dinosaur.

Just need to be on a prepay or postpay plan of $19 or greater per month.. Regards, Paul W Now back to a 0 day week. Love these 7 day weekends.
