Lirpa 100-F coin operated phone

Do you still remember the ancient coin-operated telephone that charges dimes per call? Now, we have cell phone that is operated by coins too. Picture shown above is a real coin operated cell phone, named 100-F and manufactured by a new Latvian manufacturer called Lirpa (like me, you probably think it is manufactured by a Chinese company). If you don’t have coins, no problem, the phone takes credit cards too. The phone will be available in UK pretty soon, and the UK-version of 100-F is going to have £1 coin slot for calls and a 10p slot for texts.
