Your AT&T Private Pay Phone Plus is a coin-operated telephone with the capabilities of the coin-operated telephones owned by your local telephone company. The difference is that the profit is yours. You decide where the phone will be mounted, how it will be mounted, and how much it will charge for local and long distance calls.
