Description

Chip-based telephone card published by France Télécom, "Télécarte 120" model visible on the front. The card features an advertisement with the inscription: "Que France Télécom s'engage, c'est particulièrement bien pour vous." (That France Télécom commits, is particularly good for you.) On the right, an illustration shows a woman in a blue jacket, with a telephone in front of her, typical of 1990s visual codes. On the left, the golden electronic chip and a blue arrow indicate the direction of insertion into a device.

The card's background is matte white, without decorative patterns. The printing is clear, with black text and a rectangular logo area at the bottom left bearing the mention "Télécarte 120", indicating the card's capacity in units. The graphic style, typography, and rectangular format with rounded corners are characteristic of French telephone cards from the late 20th century.

The visible side does not show any numbering or apparent validity date. The visual highlights an institutional message typical of France Télécom's pre-2000 campaigns. The golden-looking chip is embedded on the left, an emblematic technology of this generation of phone cards.

This card is a representative example of the communication media used by France Télécom to promote its commitments to the public. The overall condition of the visible side shows good preservation, without major scratches or apparent chips in the provided image.

This phone card model is sought after for its vintage appeal, its institutional slogan, and its typical 1990s presentation. It is an emblematic object in the history of telecommunications in France.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The visible side is in good condition with legible printing, an apparent chip, and no major degradation noticeable in the photo.

Did you know? Chip-based phone cards, introduced in France in 1983, revolutionized the use of telephone booths by gradually replacing coins. France Télécom was one of the world's pioneers in issuing this type of card, which peaked in the 1990s before disappearing with the widespread adoption of mobile phones.
