According to data from the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo), by 2015 there were no more public telephone booth (Wartel) connections throughout Indonesia. This number had been declining since 2010. A significant drop occurred in 2014, with the number of Wartel connections falling to 836 from a previous 227,555.

Telecommunication services that were once popular in Indonesia included value-added telephone services and multimedia services. Wartels were among the most widely used value-added telephony services. The number of Wartel connections declined significantly due to the advancement of technology and changing times, rendering them obsolete.

The emergence of mobile phones led to the demise of the once-thriving Wartel business. Similarly, public telephones, once common in offices and shopping centers, have virtually disappeared.
