Good afternoon joep0325-ga,

Midwest Payphone Supply Incorporated carries a number of different
payphones depending on your requirements. I will list the different
types of payphones, their descriptions and who they are directed at in
order for you to be able to make the right choice.

There are basically 4 types of payphones: 

=========================
Wall-Mount Smart Payphone 
=========================

“The commercial wall-mount smart payphone is the kind of phone that we
are all used to using. We see it in most public areas and can be
installed inside or outdoors. Provided it is a good brand of phone
these type of phones are quite rugged and have many advantages. It
allows your customer to make any type of calls including calling card,
long distance, and coin calls. The smart payphone also gives you the
ability to restrict or limit certain types of calls via programming
options. This equipment offers a significantly longer life span due to
the heavy duty, vandal proof design.2


======================
Counter Top Coin Phone
======================

“These phones are constructed of a heavy duty plastic and typically
are used in low to mid volume, well supervised locations. There
advantages include low cost and convenience to customers because they
can be placed right on a bar or counter. They are popular with
business owners who have a problem with people wanting to use the
business phone and not reimbursing the business owner for the call.
This coin phone can prevent the phone bill from getting out of hand.
Typically used in small bars, restaurants,salons , waiting room
areas.”

There is usually no installation required for the counter-top coin
phone. Just plug it into the phone jack, set it on the counter and you
are ready to go.


============================
Wall Mount Budget Coin Phone 
============================

“Budget wall phones (model CT-816) These coin phones are essentially
the same as the counter top phones except their design allow for wall
mounting in supervised areas only.”


======================
Charge A Call Payphone 
======================

“These payphones are quite popular at campgrounds, truck stops, and
wherever a lot of calling card and collect calls take place. They
allow the business owner to provide reliable phone service including
911 and can be located indoors or outside and can be mounted to the
wall or counter top type placement. Free calls can also be programmed
into the phone as well as call length and other restrictions. They do
not require supervised areas as they are quite rugged.”
