About like my phone bill. It is about $ 20 per month, but I have 3
taxes or more added, 911,

Isn't 911 free to call?

When I moved here, there was no 911 service. There was still a charge on
the phone bill.

So in an emergency, someone uses a phone booth to call an ambulance, and
they have to pay? Sorry, no coins, somebody dies.


Modern pay phones let you dial 911 without coins.

Anyway I don't mean a per-call charge, but a monthly charge on your bill
regardless of how many calls you made.
