Plans have been unveiled to axe more than 100 BT phone boxes in Kirklees and Calderdale.
But communities are being asked to think outside of the box and step in to save the iconic red phone boxes by adopting them for just £1.
In Kirklees 55 phone boxes could go - 21 of them red phone boxes.
In Calderdale 46 could be lost.
BT hope the heritage red phone boxes could be transformed into mini museums, book exchanges or sandbag stores.
A BT spokeswoman said: “BT is committed to providing a public payphone service, but with usage declining by over 90% in the last decade, we’ve continued to review and remove payphones which are no longer needed.
“Any removal of payphones is carried out in strict adherence to the Ofcom guidelines and, where appropriate, with the consent of local authorities.
“In all instances where there’s no other payphone within 400 metres, we’ll ask for consent from the local authority to remove the payphone. Where we receive objections from the local authority, we won’t remove the payphone.
“As an alternative to removal, we will continue to actively promote the Adopt a Kiosk scheme to all councils whilst being committed to maintaining the payphones that remain.”
There are several adopted kiosks already in Yorkshire, residents in some areas have turned them into a book exchange/library, an art gallery and some have also been used to house defibrillators.
BT encourage communities to be creative and say they could become vegetable swapping hubs or sandbag stores.
Data shows some of the phone boxes have not been used once in the last 12 months. Some have been used a handful of times, and in Calderdale the council has asked BT to retain some that have high usage.
