calling card (CC)

A calling card is a type of phone card for making cashless calls worldwide.

The use of a calling card used to be interesting for internationally operating companies and employees, as the calling card could be used worldwide and contributed to a reduction in telephone costs. With the callingcard, the cardholder pays the telephone costs.

When using the calling card, the cardholder called the calling card provider free of charge from any country, who then connected him or her either manually or electronically to the desired number. The connection was established only after the call number, card number and secret number were named or entered.
