Two words-  Dr. Who

He doesn't travel in a phone booth; it's a police box.  And it's Doctor Who, not Dr. Who.
 
Yes, I am a DW Nazi.

Actually it is telephone box, a police telephone box to be more accurate.

Or to be more accurate: 
 
"Unlike an ordinary callbox, its telephone was located behind a hinged door so it could be used from the outside, and the interior of the box was, in effect, a miniature police station for use by police officers to read and fill in reports, take meal breaks and even temporarily hold prisoners until the arrival of transport."

And there ya go.  Police box, not strictly a (public) telephone box.
 
Hey, where's my beer???

Almost all of the old police boxes I've seen have been re-purposed, quite a few are now coffee stalls.
 
Around Scotland, quite a few old red telephone boxes are now been re-purposed as housings for defibrillators, which is a fantastic idea - especially in rural areas where an ambulance may be at least 1/2 hour away. There's an ongoing campaign to get as many converted over as possible. Much better than it's old use (i.e. public toilet and/or place for  call girls to stick their "business" cards).

In a village near where my mum lives, a defibrillator was being installed at a funeral director's premises. The headline in the local paper was:
 
"Life-saving equipment top be installed at Undertakers"
 
All a bit late one would have thought.

That's hilarious! Though I guess it's an appropriate place if the defibrillator didn't save them!
