Description:

This collectible GTE Payphone chip card from July 1997 features an artistic illustration of a payphone centered vertically on the card. The payphone is depicted with a traditional handset, clearly visible keypad with numeric buttons, and coin slots. The digital display screen on the payphone shows the message "Please Lift Receiver" followed by "GTE Communications," highlighting the card’s functional theme related to GTE payphone services.

The card prominently displays the GTE logo in a blue box at the top left corner, with the value "$5" printed in white at the top right corner. Surrounding the payphone are abstract, humanoid figures rendered in warm tones of orange, yellow, and green. These figures are interacting symbolically with the payphone: one appears to be inserting a chip card into a slot at the bottom of the phone, another figure reaches towards the handset, and a larger hand above the phone holds a coin marked with the GTE logo, emphasizing stored value and usage.

The overall background combines rich gradients of red, orange, yellow, and green, creating a dynamic, almost surreal atmosphere. This design merges functionality with artistic expression, directly connecting the card’s stored value purpose with GTE payphone usage through visual storytelling. The card is a $5 stored value smart chip card intended for use with GTE payphones.

Since we have the world's largest inventory of USA phonecards for collectors, you will not necessarily receive the identical serial/batch/PIN number that we have scanned/pictured.
