Today, I was walking by a 7-11 Store in San Clemente, California. There
were two fairly recent Verizon pay phones, complete with Verizon's
version of Ma Bell's bell logo.
San Clemente has been Pacific Telephone/Pacific Bell/SBC/ and now AT&T
since the early days.
Verizon is obviously in the pay phone business outside its operating
territory.
