Need help to remove a payphone

I'm taking out a payphone that's not used anymore. It's in a kiosk that's the same as the picture I have attached.

When I try to lift the phone out of the mounting slots, the metal plate around the phone keeps it from moving up far enough to clear the mounting slots. I don't want to take the whole thing apart if I don't have to, so I need a trick to get the phone out of the kiosk without taking it all apart.

Please hide my name. I'll read any answers online. Thanks for your help.
