Development of the BT Payphone 200
| CT27 CT31D- Payphone 200 The Payphone 200, also known as the CT No. 27 CT31D, was a British Telecom public payphone introduced in the early 1980s. Manufactured by Landis & Gyr, it was designed to replace older coin-operated models such as the No. 705 and No. 735. The Payphone 200 accepted coins including 10p, 20p, 50p, and £1. It came in different versions, including the 27A (Mark I), a wall-mounted model suitable for small to medium businesses like restaurants, hotels, and shops, and the 27B (Mark II), which featured improved reliability and design updates. With a modular construction for easier maintenance and a grey color scheme, the Payphone 200 was widely deployed across public and semi-public locations in the UK during the 1980s and 1990s. It was gradually phased out in the early 2000s as British Telecom moved toward digital and card-operated payphones. |
