For postboxes, see this website: http://www.dracos.co.uk/play/locating-postboxes/ This is using a list from Royal Mail, provided under a freedom of information request. Royal Mail claimed they don't have coordinates / grid refs for any postboxes, just the street names / descriptions in that list. See http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/location_of_every_post_box_that Also, that list is probably copyrighted, so you shouldn't copy from it to add postboxes to OSM. But you can use it as a checklist, to find where you need to look for postboxes to survey. Also, IME the list is not always accurate, quite a few of refs are wrong, and some postboxes are now missing etc. So better to survey them anyway. I don't know of anything happening with phone boxes. You could try asking BT if they have a list / coordinates, and if they would release it under a suitable license for OSM.
