In the parking lot of a French village, an anonymous person makes 5 calls per month from a telephone booth. The very last one in the country…
While France had 240,000 telephone booths at the end of the 1990s, and 140,000 in 2011, one of them would survive in a small town in the country, regularly used by a person who, even today, is unknown. identity. An intriguing story that attracts the curiosity of locals and visitors.
This is a most astonishing anecdote! A mysterious stranger would continue, single-handedly, to use the last telephone booth in France. According to the Orange group, 5 calls are made every month by this same person. This cabin stands proudly in the parking lot of a village populated by only 151 inhabitants, located in a white area, i.e. not covered by the mobile network…
The booth would therefore have been kept in place to make emergency calls and to contact the rare numbers that were still free. According to the Orange company, the biggest mystery concerns an anonymous person who makes 5 calls per month from this booth, using his prepaid card. A card which is no longer on sale anywhere…
This story arouses enthusiasm in the village. Indeed, the deputy mayor, Esmeralda Mura, says: “We are keenly looking for the person making these calls! We published a wanted notice on social networks, but for the moment, there is no response. We don’t know if it’s someone from the village. We just know that this person uses a prepaid card. The mystery remains unsolved.”
And for the most curious among you, know that if you dial the number 03 89 74 11 53, you will then contact the last telephone box in France which is located in Murbach, in the Alsace region.
