The Claude Road phone is the only one in Tasmania of 18 around the country currently earmarked for removal by Telstra.
It follows on from a similar fate for a public phone booth at Stowport, with Telstra announcing last month, following public consultation, it would proceed with removal of 38 phone booths around the country, including the one at Stowport.
