True, but it was pretty common in old movies for someone to go down to a hotel lobby and have the clerk say, "Sir, this came for you," then hand them a message where every 3rd word was, "stop." It didn't make much sense to me, but I didn't think it was made up for the movies.
Also, kids today still know what a phone is and what its used for. It doesn't take a genius to realise that phone boxes aren't needed anymore now that everyone has a phone in their pocket.
