@neil wait does the phone card one mean the type for payphones, or does it include cards used to top up PAYG mobile phones? cos I definitely used the latter.

@neil @gsuberland I used calling cards for long distance calls from home (in America) to my German girlfriend. 😁 (This wasn't pre-Internet, but I met her in person as an exchange student.)
