A phone booth is a small enclosed space where people can make phone calls. However, phone booths are slowly disappearing in today's society because of the rise of mobile phones. Despite the decline, there are still some synonyms for phone booths that the younger generation may not know about. One alternative is telephone kiosks, which is an enclosed structure with a payphone that is commonly seen in the United Kingdom. Another term for a phone booth is a call box, which was commonly used in the United States before smartphones became popular. A third synonym for a phone booth is a phone cabinet, which is a design often found in Japan that features a glass enclosed public telephone.
