Development of the BT-CT7000- Payphone 190

CT7000 Payphone 190
The Payphone 190, also known as the CT7000, was a British Telecom public payphone introduced in the early 1990s. Manufactured by Landis & Gyr, it was designed mainly for countertop use in public and semi-public locations such as shops, offices, and service areas. It accepted multiple coins including 10p, 20p, 50p, and £1, with a cash box capacity of around £25. The phone came in two main models: the 190MP, which operated with meter-pulsed signaling and allowed access to operator services, and the 190SC, a self-contained version that displayed remaining call time and required users to press a button to continue calls. Featuring a modular design for easier maintenance, the Payphone 190 was widely deployed during the 1990s but was gradually phased out in the early 2000s as digital and card-operated payphones became the standard.
