A public [[phone|telephone]], with payment by inserting money (usually coins). Often seen furnished inside [[phone booth]]s and seen alongside [[phone book]]s.  Traditional Japanese payphones are fat and green (e.g. post #3832440) and often include a card reader in addition to a typical coin slot.  Don't use this tag where a phone booth is visible, but the payphone inside is not.  Do use it instead of phone booth for free-standing or wall-mounted payphones without any sort of enclosure.
