Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     This  Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being filed as a result of (i) the
increase in the number of shares of PhoneTel common stock outstanding due to the
sale by PhoneTel in a public  offering of  6,750,000  shares of common stock and
(ii) the  prepayment  in full by  PhoneTel  of the Note.  Capitalized  terms not
defined  herein  shall have the  meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D filed by
Stephen Feinberg as of March 15, 1996, which is hereby amended by this Amendment
No. 1. 

     Based upon information  provided to Cerberus by management of PhoneTel,  as

common  stock of  PhoneTel.  As of such date,  Cerberus is the record  holder of
102,412 Warrants,  each Warrant entitling the holder thereof,  at its option, to
purchase  either  (i) one (1) share of  PhoneTel  Series A  Special  Convertible
Preferred  Stock (which is  convertible  by the holder  thereof into twenty (20)
shares of PhoneTel  common stock) or (ii) twenty (20) shares of PhoneTel  common
stock.  Pursuant to participation  agreements entered into with Cerberus,  as of

(b) Horizons is the beneficial owner of 6,579 of the Warrants, (c) International

beneficially  owned by the Funds and (ii) 772 of the Warrants  are  beneficially
owned by the  Unaffiliated  Fund.  Therefore,  pursuant to Rule  13d-3,  Stephen
Feinberg is deemed to own  2,032,800  of  16,422,509  shares of PhoneTel  common
stock deemed outstanding, or 12.4% of the total deemed outstanding.

Styx  International  and the Funds in the common stock of PhoneTel or securities
of PhoneTel which are convertible into shares of common stock of PhoneTel during

any time, to convert the Note into either (i) 833.333 shares of PhoneTel  Series

into twenty (20) shares of PhoneTel common stock) for each $100,000 converted or
(ii)  16,666.667  shares of PhoneTel  common stock for each $100,000  converted.
