Abstract: A telephone booth having the appearance of an inverted truncated pyramid, wherein one side of the pyramid enclosure permits access to the booth. Within the booth is the dialing mechanism which is indirectly connected to the dialing circuitry. Also within the booth are remote voice transmitting and receiving devices which are activated by credit cards, tokens or coins. Safe storage for the tokens is in the base of the booth. The supporting column for the booth acts as a conduit for the tokens. The improved telephone booth is virtually vandal-proof and is intended for use as part of a telephone system network.
