@neil all but the phone card and exchange

@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.

@gsuberland Ooh, good clarification. I was meaning in the context of a payphone here.

@neil @gsuberland oh, I said "yes" meaning a card that gives you discounted long distance. Nothing electronic - just a code to dial.
