Question

How many coins have you got in your pocket right now? Three? Two？or one？

With a phonecard you can make up to 200 calls without any change at all.

（1）What do you do with it?

Go to a telephone box marked（you guessed it）“phonecard”. Put in your card, make your call and when you’ve finished, a screen tells you how much is left on your card.

（2）Now appear in a shop near you.

Near each Cardphone place you’ll find a shop where you can buy one. They’re at bus, train and city tube stations（地铁）.

Many universities, hospitals and clubs. Restaurants and gas stations on the highway and shopping centers. At airports and seaports.

（3）No more broken payphones.

Most broken payphones are like that because they’ve been vandalized（故意破坏）. There are no coins in Cardphone to excite thieves’ interest in it. So you’re not probably to find a vandalized one.

Get a phonecard yourself and try it out ,or get a bigger wallet.
