Abstract

Payment for a telephone call is made by insertion of money into a receptacle. A credit card with magnetic track is used with the money or separately and any credit or debit is recorded on the card. A telephone handset (4) and dialling mechanism (3) are connected to a telephone line (2) via a telephone circuit (1). Payment for calls is made by insertion of money into receptacles (5, 6) and/or by insertion of magnetic card into a reader (7). Interface circuits (9, 10, 11, 12) permit connection of an electronic circuit (8) which enables a credit or debit to be established and displayed (13). A special dialling number is used to enable re-establishment of card credit.
