Printed Ephemera — 2003
First Asia
Before the widespread use of mobiles, companies sold pre-paid call cards for use in payphones. This card was marketed at Asian Londoners with family and friends abroad.
Users would dial an access code and then enter a pin number revealed by scratching off the silver strip on the back of the card. They could then dial their destination number.
