Vintage Phone Card Télécarte 50 chip Signal d'Appel blue France

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This French telephone card, known as a "Télécarte 50", is typical of the 1990s. The front shows a blue gradient visual illustrating a push-button telephone keypad, with a light effect highlighting the numbers and the "R." key. At the top, the inscription "Signal d’Appel 10 F par mois." ("Call Waiting 10 F per month.") is clearly legible, referring to a telephone service offer from that period.

The card is equipped with a visible electronic chip on the left, characteristic of the télécartes used for French public telephone booths. The mention "TELECARTE 50" appears at the bottom left on a white background, indicating a capacity of 50 units, standard for this type of item.

The card surface has a glossy finish, with four-color printing. No major defects are apparent on the front: the corners are sharp, and the surface shows no deep scratches or visible chips.

The graphic design, colors, and standard rectangular format are reminiscent of telephone cards distributed in France in the 80s-90s, before the rise of mobile phones. No brand logo is legible on the front, but the style, chip technology, and mention in francs confirm its French origin from the pre-euro period.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The front has a good overall appearance, with no noticeable defects on the recto.

Did you know? Chip télécartes were introduced in France as early as 1983. They gradually replaced tokens and coins in public booths, allowing for more precise management of telephone credit and the widespread dissemination of visual campaigns.
