So very handy though on those rare occasions when one's cell isn't an option.

I'm missing clocks too, even in places like transportation hubs, I'd guess for the same reason: people check their cell instead.

12% of Canadian households don't have a cellphone.

0.7% of Canadian households lack either cellphone or landline service.

So basically the entire population of Manitoba is still reliant upon payphones.
