From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A telephone card, calling card or phone card for short, is a small card, usually resembling a credit card, used to pay for telephone services. Such cards can either employ prepaid credit system or credit card style system of credit. The exact system for payment, and the way in which the card is used to place a telephone call, depend on the overall telecommunication system. Currently, the most common types of telephone cards involve pre-paid credit in which the card is purchased with a specific balance, from which the cost of calls made is deducted. Pre-paid phone cards are disposable. When the balance is exhausted you simply buy a new card. Cards purchased can often be refilled. The other main type of card involves a card with a special PIN printed on it that allows one to charge calls to a land-line telephone account.


Short description

Calling Card module lets manage cards printed on plastic/paper or sold over internet for international calling.

The calling card platform is dedicated to calling cards - e.g. the plastic/paper cards with scratch surface which can be sold in shops or in streets. Also these cards (or their number/pin) can be sold over internet.

When user buys a card, he gets number/pin of the card. Then he dials some access number and IVR asks him to enter this number/pin.

Then user hears credit remaining and time remaining and can enter destination. If destination is ok - he gets connected and can talk. After call is finished – the call's price is deducted from card's balance.
