The PayFoneMap Team has announced a strategic update to the platform’s global mapping directory. The Switzerland region has been officially decommissioned and removed from all active listings.

PayFoneMap was launched in September 2023 as a passion project with a singular goal: to map the remaining payphones across Canada and preserve a fading part of communication history.

Since our initial announcement of expanding our payphone mapping program from a national Canadian initiative to a global one, the summer of 2025 has been a period of incredible growth and discovery.

Beginning this summer 2025, we will be continually expanding our locator maps across multiple cities, and across multiple provinces to map out our remaining payphones. Our extensive locator maps will include locations of payphone in airports, convenience stores, gas stations, shopping malls, grocery stores, public buildings, and etc. no matter where you are in Canada, we will have you covered finding the nearest payphone.
