Phonecards
Phonecards or Telephone Cards are specialised cards in the shape of a credit card. These cards are purchased for their exclusive use to make telephone calls from public telephones. They contain technology that carries ''stored value'' enabling its user to make phonecalls. These cards are very popular with tourists.
