It's still a dime in ConTel service areas near (and between) Cortland and
Ithaca, NY, and I suspect also in other ConTel areas throughout other
Upstate NY places no one has heard of (like Eagle Bay :-) ).

N.B. The ConTel payphones around here were all tone 3 years before NY Tel
started installing tone payphones hereabouts. NY Tel *still* has some
dial payphones in this area!
