It's clearly a technical screening challenge - first the applicant must find a public payphone in Australia... and it must also be in working order.


Candidates must be able to withstand the smell of urine for a number of minutes...


And avoid the cops who will definitely see them as weirdo crack-adicts calling their dealer from a phone booth


"But officer, I'm a spy!"


Pay phones are still semi-common in Australia - at least in Western Australia - there's usually one within a few blocks of anywhere in Perth and most other cities.


There is a payphone within view of my job and until a year or two ago there were one close to my apartment. They are rare, but not as rare as you might think.
