An Std Booth

key notes:

What is an STD Booth?

• An STD booth (Subscriber Trunk Dialing booth) is a small shop or booth where people can make long-distance phone calls.
• These booths were common before mobile phones became popular.

Purpose of an STD Booth

• The booth allows people to make calls to other cities or towns, sometimes even to other countries.
• It helps people who don’t have their own telephones.

How it Works

• The person tells the booth operator the number they want to call.
• The operator connects the call, and the person talks from a public phone inside the booth.
• After the call, the person pays for the time they used.

Location of STD Booths

• STD booths were usually found in busy areas like markets, bus stops, or near train stations.

Importance of STD Booths

• They were important because they allowed people to stay connected with friends and family, especially before everyone had their own phone.

Technology Now

• Today, mobile phones and internet services have mostly replaced STD booths, making long-distance communication much easier.
