Telephone in an Apmz 121 car - sorry, out of order .... In the 1980s, the DB equipped all 1st class open plan cars of type Apmz 121 to 123 with coin-operated telephones, but when the old "C" mobile telephony network was switched off in 2000, nobody had thought of installing a suitable replacement on time, so there are currently no German trains with working telephones. A lot of passengers have their own mobile phones anyway, nowaday. 2001-04-26.
