Yes you could call public phones. I used to call one in front of my mates house regularly.
We were sitting on his verandah one day and the pay phone started ringing, when my mate answered it he asked what number the person rang. This person told him the number. As my mate didn't have the home phone connected it was quite useful.
This would have been around 15 years ago, the particular phone is no longer there as a car crashed into it and it was never repaired or replaced. I am unsure if is still possible to call a pay phone, but 100% certain that it was possible years ago.
