Hello, and welcome to McPayphone, a project to catalog America's one million payphone numbers and payphones from abroad.
To submit a number, send an email to webmaster@mcpayphone.com. When submitting it, please include the location (Burger King, Police Dept., unknown, etc.), the address (road it's on, street corner, or number) and anything noteworthy. You can also submit a name to post because I like to give credit for others' efforts.
If you have any questions about how to read the guide or submit numbers, email me. Otherwise, enjoy some free and open source information.
McPayphone History
McPayphone started in 2000 as a personal hobby, inspired by the Mojave Desert Phone Booth. In time, the collection grew to over 10,000 domestic and international numbers. It has grown into a reference tool and has aided in missing persons and telephone harassment cases.
The original site was deleted by Yahoo for violation of the terms of service policy, which were not allowed to be corrected or even elaborated upon.
Luckily, McPayphone had paper copy of a lot of the numbers, which have been laboriously re-entered. The site has lost a bit (most of the foreign collection), but the McPayphone foundation is working toward a future glory in open source information.
We are also looking forward to making international links and learning about other cultures (like that odd Canadian one that has "Mr. Sub" instead of Subway).
