    Sure, but there are emergencies and there are "emergencies"... Calling a
    tow truck or a taxi for a car that won't start isn't a 911 emergency but
    it's a nice time to have a phone.

    Think of it as fire insurance. If your house never burns down,
    would you consider the money spent on insurance premiums to
    be thrown away?

    How are you going to do that if your car breaks down unexpectedly
    in some remote area?

    People come into my grocery store every week asking if we have a
    pay phone, but we don't. I tell them if it is an emergency they can use
    the phone at the service desk, but most of them just leave.
