The front features a predominantly blue visual, illustrating an Alphapage pager, a pen, and a document marked \"Signature du client\" (Customer's Signature), accompanied by a legible inscription on the pager: \"ACCORD DG SIGNEZ\" (DG AGREEMENT SIGN). The card also bears the slogan \"Alphapage, vous bougez et le monde vous suit.\" (Alphapage, you move and the world follows you.) at the bottom, as well as the official France Telecom logo in the lower right corner. The overall graphic design and typography are typical of the 1990s, a period when this type of medium was widely used for public communications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe phone card is in the standard rectangular format, with rounded corners and a shiny plasticized surface. The electronic chip area is clearly visible and intact. The main colors are blue, gray, and touches of white, with an elegant gradient effect on the background. The graphic elements (pen, pager, document) evoke the professional and technological world of the time, reinforcing the visual identity specific to French phone cards of this generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe inscription \"TELECARTE 120\" in the upper right indicates a capacity of 120 units, typical of long-use phone cards. The design highlights the practicality of the Alphapage service, a paging system, making it a doubly iconic object: both a relic of telecommunications and a testament to the rise of pagers in France. No major defects or scratches are visible on the displayed side; the surface appears to be in good overall condition with a slight patina from use, common for this type of vintage item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
