Prepaid Payphone Cards

The payphones offer great RP opportunities by offering a way to call people anonymously for only $20.
Problem is, most people prefer to not carry around cash on them out of fear of losing it, and payphones take cash only, meaning often times people just don't use them.

It would be cool to have the ability to buy prepaid payphone cards in supermarkets, that are stored in your inventory like crates or briefcases, which can be consumed by the payphones to activate 1 call.
I also think this will make it more accessible for people to take advantage of payphones.

If carrying like a 100 bucks for a medic, payphone etc is something that you fear losing, you're just doing it wrong.

I agree, and it might be a bit pandering to the people who are afraid of losing their precious 100 dollars, but considering sometimes changes are made to keep content with potential alive (like the change to make taxi fares be able to come from bank), i thought this might be an interesting solution at it.

This is the main problem, and not the payphone script.

I instead would start demanding all purchases from stores (Clothes, Ammunations, Food, etc) are cash only, as well as more incentives to carry cash and actually WITHDRAW from your bank account.

To add: In order to help balance things, we can add more places to withdraw cash, such as an additional bank and ATM machines.

I whole heartedly agree with you on that, really.
