We just spent a couple of weeks in Cyprus and came across these phones. In Nicosia I was giving up on seeing a phone in the Old City but just outside the walls, by the Museum entrance there was a very special one – solar powered (see below):

We finished off the 2nd series of Extant on holiday in Cyprus. There was a scene with a decrepit phone box that was part of a high tech security system:
From a news article titled ‘Archbishop of Canterbury plans to loosen ties of divided Anglican communion’, comes this:
He hopes to hold a meeting of the new body in 2020. One member of his staff said: “If so few people want to come that we could hold it in a telephone box, fine, we’ll hold it in a telephone box.”
Even after the zombie hoards have taken over the phone box continues to be relevant – as seen in this episode of Z Nation…
Here I like the use of the phone to reflect the woman making the call
