About %90 percent of pay phones I see had their handsets cut off...And that is when the phone remains...I see more blank wall areas in buildings and stripped outdoor payphone boxes missing their phone than actual pay phones.
ISTR hearing that you can pulse dial a pay phone with the headset hook to bypass the pay mech... I'm not sure I ever used a payphone, and I can only remember seeing my folks use them a handfull of times.
