Pay Phone? Where are they?

Has anyone noticed that there are no pay phones in America??? In London red pay phone boxes are everywhere on the high streets. Where are they here? I know its 2007 and everyone has a cell phone, but sometimes life doesnt always going according to plan. We can forget our cell phone at home, loose cell signal, get stranded...etc. I think it is dangerous not to have phones available on public streets. I think this move is ignorant and risky.
