These are relatively easy to find in Japan
Couldn't tell you why but they are

Despite the old stereotype of Japan being a futuristic nation that produces the technology of tomorrow, a lot of it's institutions are still using very outdated technology.
Fax is still very actively used

so there are easy exits when people need to get out of the matrix

Pay phones are still common in many places around the world. An indicator may be those mapped on OSM: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/amenity=telephone#map
They are common in my country, but I hardly ever see anyone use them.

i found a working red telephone box in stratford-upon-avon last week.
most of them have been turned into defibrilator access points, or mini libraries or ripped out entirely these days.

Nice!

Why different emergency number for popo?
-
Having only one emergency number isn't the standard everywhere in the world. In my childhood here in Austria I learned that the fire department is 122, the police is 133, ambulance is 144; these numbers still work AFAIK, but nowadays the government's recommendation is to dial 112 (the EU-wide emergency number) no matter what you need.

Reminds me of Ghostwire: Tokyo 😂

Underrated game.

15K Australian public phone booths are now Freephones and some are free wi-fi hotspots. I don’t think I’ve used one since the late 1990s, though.
