          This section is to help understand the Aachen numbering, from the TEST series starting with the first 6 digit cards, to the 7 digit numbering system (featuring the 594 series, and then the prefixes starting with first issue 02, and test 03, and then filling out the prefix numbers up to 12. To understand this series we need to see the pattern 05 prefix followed by 5 digit serial number 012345 afterwards other series follow from 1986, the most well known is 401#####. This is a test series with many very small print runs, some as low as 2 or 3 pieces. Fascinating series to collect. We hope this section helps you, and we can swap for cards we are missing.

        The first phonecards used in Trinidad and Tobago islands were from Autelca. First issued in 1987, the Autelca system was superseded by payphones from GPT in 1989. Many of these early cards are now difficult to find

          Cardphone Australia started up in 1994 with payphone technology using Mobile devices incorporated into a Payphone using magnetic cards similar to Anritsu and Tamura, but produced for Omron who made the readers for Cardphone payphones. Early test cards were loaded on both sides of the card, but normal issued cards were coded on ONE side only, as the usage scale indicates. The first temporary installations were at major events such as the 1994 Melbourne Horse racing carnival (of which the Melbourne Cup is the highlight) Cricket and Tennis events were also attended by these payphones, and the card themes produced for these events reflect that. (The payphones used original RED cabin payphone boxes refurbished) Cardphone won a contract to install their phones on Victorian Countrylink trains, operating in regional Victoria. This is reflected in following train themed cards. Paytel Australia finally bought out Cardphone and took over the train licenses. (reflected in new train themed cards on the Paytel magstipe cards)
