It is reported that the UK will save thousands of red phone boxes. Its first phone box started appearing in 1921, and the special red style came out five years later.

As smart phones have become part of everyday life, the public (公共的) phone boxes may seem out of date. But Ofcom, the UK’s communications regulator (通信商), says they can still be a “lifeline” for people in need.

“People can use the phone boxes we plan to protect to make calls. If one of those calls is from a sad child, an accident victim (受害者), that phone line can be a lifeline at a time of great need,” says Selina Chadha, a leader in Ofcom.

Ofcom plans to protect 5,000 phone boxes, especially in poor areas where smart phones are not so common. “We also want to make sure that people in those areas, often in poor areas, can still make calls,” she adds.

According to the official report (官方报道), nearly half of the phone boxes in the UK have lost their places in people’s everyday life. Because more and more people use smart phones. It is said that people turned more than 6, 500 unused call boxes into mini community libraries or coffee shops under a plan called “Adopt a Kiosk”. It allows local organizations (当地组织) to buy a red phone for only one pound and turn the box into something useful.
