Miami Springs has them. The gas station on the circle has two I think.

I remember seeing some in gas stations in Broward. And remember Taravella High School, I believe, had a lot of them.

Using pay phones = suspicious activity.

The pay phones on 137 ave near Miller Dr still work, in fact someone put stickers on them saying so! The one on sw 16 street and 107 ave works, as does one at the gas station on 87 ave and Sunset at the Marathon station. I am going to try and rescue a few pay phones before they all get scrapped or taken to the landfill. The one at the friendly coin laundry on Bird road and 67 ave and the one at the post office on 117 ave next to the police station were both taken out in the last two weeks. I still have the phone booth next to my house with a working "pay" phone that returns your money after you make a call, like using an Aldi cart.

This one was totally destroyed. It was only a matter of time before they took it out.
