![]() Many cards are in the double value, 50 and 120 units. Two series are real object of worship for card collectors, imitated by so many other countries and Telecom of the world. Two cult series: Les Grand Figures des Telecommunications e Telephone et Cinema The phone card is in the pocket of any person who wants to call outside, and there are a lot of phone calls, and it can be said that it is its golden age, which comes after payment with token-coins and coins and before the advent of the mobile phone. With second cartouche, which lasts from 1989 to 2000, beautiful télécartes, unforgettable, that capture, I leave many names in French. With the first cartouche and France Telecom that is just in the text En cas d'incident appellez le 13 ou adressez-vous à votre Agence de France Telecom, I remember any télécartes that I own, which already have a bigger run, La 4 e Dimension, 3 e Internationaux de France de Gimnastique, Kronenbourg. The first phone cards, is obvious, are rare, and I do not have them, I would like, it is equally taken for granted, get them. La télécarte has no logo but only the cartouche, and France Télécom will be born only in 1988. In May 1987 sees the light the first public French chip phone card, JTB Paris Champs-Elysees Arc de Triumphe. I prefer to omit examples of phone cards, even at the expense of documentation, that have on Colnect additional signs, in pencil or pen, and many French cards have them because varieties are many, such as the catalog number, even with the price, or with other annotations. Any télécartes have written Tirage of well 2,000,000, a card with the image of the Eiffel Tower just 105,000. Print run on télécarte is overall of 50 and 120 units, and of cards with different chip and date (there are, however, exceptions), and it serves, therefore, a catalog to know the actual circulation of the single card. Varieties of the serial number, serigraphs, their position, errors and other, are instead quite a number and requires a specialist study, which in Phonecote has a dedicated section, under the name Les Variétés de Publiques. The main changes in phone cards with the same picture affects la puce, print run and date, but are not many. ![]() ![]() 120 units card usually has lower print run than 50 units card, often are a pair, and sometimes with the same image, many, instead, are part of a series. The Public French phone cards are in two values, 50 unités and 120 unités. The Public France Télécom phone cards, Les Publiques, are thousands, and they have attracted, for the inimitable style, million of collectors of phone cards, and not only, of every part of the globe for more than twenty years, more or less at the turn of the year 2000. I come, now, finally to the bread of the collector, the phone card with its image and the series to which it may belong, speaking of those one I had in my hands, that is the Public and Equivalent Public France Télécom phone cards. I looked into the figurative side of the phone card at the type of chip and at cartouche, and at the back side of the phone card, in the white space, where are logo, service text and other written, serial number, print run and issue date, etc., etc. I’ve introduced the French phone cards for telephone booth or telephone location, which are inserted into a payphone, providing valuable information about classification, appearance and models of France Télécom phone cards, which are chip cards, helped by The Collector’s Bible, ie Phonecote catalog, the website that connects collectors, that is Colnect, and my experience.
