Description

Illustrated chip phone card, published by France Telecom, "Call Transfer" model. The front of this phone card features a color photograph: in the foreground, a person using a public telephone, wearing a light-colored sweater, facing right. In the background, there is a lake or sea scene, with a wooden pier and two children running on the beach, adding a family and summer atmosphere to the composition. The title "TRANSFERT D’APPEL" (CALL TRANSFER) is printed in large white letters on the upper part of the card, while "TELECARTE 50" (PHONE CARD 50) appears on the bottom left, on a white background.

The "FRANCE TELECOM" logo is present at the bottom right, accompanied by the characteristic blue pictogram of the historical operator. The golden chip, typical of French phone cards from the 1990s, is clearly visible on the left. The overall visual, clothing style, and graphics clearly evoke a production from the late 80s or early 90s, an emblematic period for the democratization of chip cards in France.

The card has a glossy finish, with vibrant colors and a marked contrast between the beach scene and the blue border of the title. No obvious defects are visible on the presented front: the surface appears clean, without scratches or noticeable signs of wear. The entire print remains clear and legible, with right angles and no apparent alteration on the visible edge.

This "Télécarte 50" phone card is an emblematic object from the France Telecom era, used to make calls from public phone booths. It combines visual interest, historical use, and decorative appeal for lovers of retro design or French telecommunications.

The card presented here is strictly described according to its visible front face. No information is provided on the back or the condition of the chip on the back, in accordance with the photo provided.

Did you know? France Telecom chip phone cards were introduced in France in 1983, gradually replacing magnetic stripe cards. The "Télécarte 50" model corresponds to a value of 50 units, sufficient for several local calls in the 1990s. The spread of mobile phones led to the gradual disappearance of phone booths and these cards from the 2000s onwards.
