Introduction to Telephone Cards

Welcome to the world of telephone cards

Card collecting has been a hobby of the mankind of tens of years, but for only few years have these new collectibles been available to the public: prepaid cards which have their call value encoded in a microchip or on a magnetic stripe.

Pictures on cards are sometimes close to the conservative motifs of stamps - and sometimes they are as wild as advertisements on everyday papers. Cards are issued for almost anything: from yearly celebrations to historic moments, from new product advertising to landscape views.

A mailing list has been created for collectors. It can be subscribed by sending the line 

	subscribe phonecard-collectors Your Name
to the mailserver behind the address mailserver@lists.funet.fi. Note: this list is for collectors only, it contains very little or no technical talk.

There is a swap corner maintained by Andy Colebourne at Lancaster University in England. You can put there a short advertisement for free, with pictures of your cards. E-mail Andy, <andy@comp.lancs.ac.uk> for further details.

You can upload your own collection lists to ftp.funet.fi, to the directory /pub/doc/telecom/phonecard/incoming. This phonecard directory has some useful card information.
