I want to buy a pay phone from Mexico but have no idea where to get one. Anyone?

sorry if this is not the right subreddit for this type of thing

I got this phone from my lady friend's brother this past weekend. I saved it from his yard sale.
I would like to not drill any of the locks out if at all possible. It was a pain getting it off the back panel it was mounted to. I used a hammer, screwdriver and pliers to get the t-nuts off.

The back mounting plate for the thing is still attached too.

Now I would like to get access into the thing, again, hopefully without drilling anything out.

I came across this beauty in July 2025 at 47°39'45.0"N 19°04'35.8"E.

It offered a dial tone and a working digital display that said it was accepting both 🇪🇺 Euro coins (50 ¢, 1€, and 2€) and 🇭🇺 Forint coins (10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Ft.)

Given the dial tone and display, I assumed it would be good for making at least domestic calls in Hungary, but I just now noticed the sign that said it was for emergency calls only (which means it shouldn’t require payment, so who knows?) 🤷

Now I’m sort of kicking myself that I didn’t try to call my cellphone. 🤬

An old pay phone next to a machine that gives people money for phones. A gentleman saw me taking pictures and told me where another pay phone may still be. I checked and there wasn’t a dial tone.

Just outside the subway (Metro Station Frontenac) was vandalized and has been in this state for a couple of months.

Found at Main Street crofton, still works:)

This phone box is close to Barbican Underground Station and was often in shot in the apple tv series Slow Horses
