Many models of cabinet have a cap. The cap of a payphone is typically orange, or in the case of a [[Telstra Air|Wi-Fi enabled Telstra Air payphone]], magenta. However, other colours can occasionally be found. These do not appear to have any significance and may simply be decorative for aesthetic or marketing purposes.
Most cabinets have a coloured dome that forms the top. It is typically orange, or in the case of a [[Telstra Air|payphone with free Wi-Fi]], magenta. The hat typically contains a light to illuminate the logo on the outside, and sometimes a router to provide the free Wi-Fi.
 
Some payphones also have a magenta cube fitted above the hat. This usually contains the router that provides free Wi-Fi and/or the LTE modem that allows the phone to function. This cube has Wi-Fi symbols on it if the payphone has free Wi-Fi enabled and is blank otherwise.
 
Some payphones have a dark grey "blade" instead of the cube. This is an enclosure for a LTE antenna.<gallery>

The cabinet is the structure housing the payphone that contains the electrical and telephonic equipment needed for a Telstra Smart Payphone to be operational. Indoor payphones are typically very simple, whereas outdoor payphones additionally have a limited amount of cover from the weather.

Very rarely, a payphone does not have a visible cabinet of any kind.

Attachments

Most cabinets have a coloured dome that forms the top. It is typically orange, or in the case of a payphone with free Wi-Fi, magenta. The hat typically contains a light to illuminate the logo on the outside, and sometimes a router to provide the free Wi-Fi.

Some payphones also have a magenta cube fitted above the hat. This usually contains the router that provides free Wi-Fi and/or the LTE modem that allows the phone to function. This cube has Wi-Fi symbols on it if the payphone has free Wi-Fi enabled and is blank otherwise.

Some payphones have a dark grey "blade" instead of the cube. This is an enclosure for a LTE antenna.
