Payphones up here were controlled mainly by the regional telephone companies (BC Tel, SaskTEL, AGT, and NBtel for example) until Bell and Telus started absorbing the provincial networks and I don't seem to recall there was ever really a market for private payphones as the rental and leasing rates were so low. Most of our payphones were built by Northern Telecom. These days unless you got an older one before everything was upgraded to the Millennium system you are stuck either importing a payphone from the United States or figuring out how to locally operate a Nortel Millennium network.
