[Conventional technology]

A regular telephone has the functions of calling, receiving, and making calls.
It is connected to the exchange. Among these, public telephones are used to determine the purpose of the call by inserting money or a telephone card. For example, a telephone card has a usage power of 50 or 100, and when it is used, the power is subtracted and the remaining power is displayed with a punch hole. Therefore, telephone cards are convenient because they do not require carrying around currency and can be used many times. There are three types of conventional public telephones: coins only, coins and telephone cards, and telephone cards only. Public telephone booths that accept telephone cards are also equipped with a separate telephone card vending machine. .

In some cases, the call cannot be continued and the call must be made again using a new telephone card, which is inconvenient.

In particular, the remaining usage of a telephone card varies depending on the duration of the call, the destination, etc., and an old telephone card may run out of usage.

Furthermore, in the case where a telephone card vending machine is installed separately in a public telephone booth/office, there is an inconvenience that the interior of the public telephone booth becomes small.
