Do they still have pay phones in Europe?

I was driving down US 19 yesterday and saw a young man stop to use a pay phone. It suddenly occurred to me that not only had I not seen anyone doing that in a very long time, I hadn't seen a working pay phone in a very long time.

We always see those great phone booths in movies set in England (UK drunks don't pee in phone booths?) and I was wondering if they are actually still in use, or if they are a tourist area thing.

1. We still have some in Germany

but they are getting less and less. With almost everyone having a cell phone nowadays they aren't making money with the phone booths anymore.
