First class cabins typically had one handset per seat. Some planes had one or more bunkbed mounted phone stations with cordless handsets that the passengers could use, instead of the multiple wired handsets. Airfone phone calls were usually quite expensive compared to ground-based telephone calls, costing $3.99 per call and $4.99 per minute in 2006.

I never used one or saw anyone use one. I think some of them even had telephone jacks on them that you could theoretically use to send a fax or hook up a modem or something.

Yeah, it was kind of crazy because everyone just listened to you. Like $5-10 a phone call.
