A payphone? Do you have a 21st century idea?
Use your prepaid mci long distance calling card on your neighbors phone so they don't incur any charges
Payphones are still a thing. They're more rare, but they still exist.
The chance of a payphone being handy in the middle of a demonstration is pretty small. If you have to run a half mile to find a pay phone, then the strategy starts to break down.
However, if you want to try this, maybe The Payphone Project can help you locate the nearest phone. According to the listing for my hometown, it's likely a campground or cheap hotel.
