Young hospital worker using her cellphone in a phone booth, Jakarta, April 2007
Either she uses the phone booth out of habit from her pre-cellphone days, or else she’s making use of a privacy feature of old technology — the sound-proofing booth — her new technology doesn’t offer.

There is a third option: she’s in a place (culturally or geographically) where the payphone represents the acceptable zone to speak on your phone.
I see this at many hospitals in the US, there will be a waiting room where cell phones aren’t allowed and some payphones out in the hall that nobody uses except to lean against while chatting on their cellphone.
