This is a BellSouth Trial Card from 1989, identified as the First Test / Trial Card with Bull Chip and Magnetic Stripe (Type 1). The card features a white background with a horizontal yellow stripe across the middle. The BellSouth corporate logo is prominently displayed in black and bold font above the yellow stripe towards the right-hand side. The words "TRIAL CARD" are printed beneath the yellow stripe on the right side.

On the left side of the card, there is a gold-colored chip positioned within the yellow stripe area. Alongside the chip, the word "INSERT" is vertically printed with arrows pointing towards the chip to indicate the card insertion direction. The card includes a magnetic stripe for data storage, complementing the embedded chip technology.
