pay station
Coin-operated telephone booth
A pay station is a public telephone that requires payment—coins, a card, or a code—to operate.
The term is somewhat dated, as pay phones have largely disappeared.
Pay station may also refer to a kiosk or terminal where customers make payments, as in parking facilities: Insert your ticket at the pay station before returning to your car.
