>Stallman mentioned the possibility of payment by cash by pay phones (or with a prepaid phone card), so that might be one way to do it

Here, it's not just about poor maintenance. Every single payphone in my city has been removed. They just don't even exist any more.

most commerce sites allow you to buy a product and ship it to a different address than the billing. it's an ok way to buy stuff if they agree to barter.
