I'd guess closer to 10 miles, there is a Bell payphone at the Exxon station the exit before (to the west of) Milford, PA. Once you cross into New York State toward Newburgh, you are still in Contel territory. At least I was with the apparently-more-easily-reachable MCI when it happened to me. although it was getting covered with ICE last time I used it. Maybe we should keep a database of Bad Phone locations? - Ralph
