Need help to remove a payphone open original image

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.

Can you get to the back of the kiosk?

Bear in mind that easy removal [especially without special tools] was probably not considered an advantage when it was installed!
