Phonecards

The Telkom Phonecard is a prepaid, fixed value microchip card used on the green Telkom Cardphones. Phonecards offer a convenient and easy way to make calls.

  • Phonecards enable you to make calls from public payphones without the need for cash (ideal to carry in case of emergencies);
  • Phonecards can be used to make local, national, international and cellular telephone calls;

  • When all stored credit has been used during a call, the Phonecard can be replaced with another Phonecard without interrupting the call;
