Q: Do I need a special phone line for the payphone to work?
A: All of these phones described above can plug into a standard phone jack. Many business owners tend to run the countertop phones off there existing phone line as an extension phone (check with your local telco for any rules and regulations). Some business owners also choose to run their wall mount smart payphones off their line as an extension payphone. However, for fraud protection, it is best to run the payphone on a dedicated payphone line . If you have questions on what is best for your location and for protection against any fraudulent calling, you can talk to a customer representative at our company. We also recommend that you check with your local telephone company to find out any applicable rules they may have.

Q: What about long distance calls?
A: Pay phone rates are programmed into this phone by MTS. For example., a three minute long distance call will require the caller to deposit about $ 2.35. Your actual long distance charge for the three minutes will be approximately 45 cents so your profit is $1.95. (Charges and rates will vary according to the distance of the call and the length of time of the call). Note: The caller cannot continue talking without depositing money.

Q: What about installing a counter-top coin phone?
A: There is usually no installation required for the counter-top coin phone. Just plug it into the phone jack, set it on the counter and you are ready to go.
