AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Chip telephone card, "Signal d'Appel" model, published by France Telecom. The front of the card features a color photograph of a smiling woman using a landline phone against a light background. The inscription "SIGNAL D'APPEL" appears at the top of the card, while the France Telecom logo, the mention "TELECARTE 50" and the gold chip are clearly visible on the left side and bottom right. The overall aesthetic is typical of the 1990s, both in the layout and in the clothing style and hairstyle of the photographed model.

The card displays a predominance of light and neutral tones, with a clean print and sharp visual. The graphic elements are typical of French phone cards from this era: a gold electronic chip on the left, a directional arrow, and blue and black frames for the main texts. The gold-contact chip is well-centered, with no visible signs of oxidation in the photo.

The official France Telecom logo is clearly printed at the bottom right, guaranteeing the authenticity of this original French phone card. No serial number or year is visible on this side. The card is placed on a bright orange-yellow background, which highlights its colors and retro look.

The general design evokes the world of telecommunications in the 80s-90s, a period when the use of phone cards was common for accessing public telephone booths in France. The photographic illustration, credit card format, and the presence of the chip perfectly conform to the standards of phone cards from that era.

No deep scratches, breaks, or missing parts are visible on the front. The overall condition appears good according to the photograph, with clean edges and a clean surface, apart from some light reflections related to the shooting.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Only the front is visible in the photo; no major apparent defects on this side.

Did you know? France Telecom phone cards were introduced in the early 1980s and quickly became a symbol of public communication in France. Chip models, like this one, replaced the first magnetic stripe versions from the late 80s. The mention "50 units" indicates the communication credit usable at the time in public phone booths.
