It is indeed not easy trying to upkeep a blog. Especially one started for assignments. Despite it being holidays, I still have extra lessons. Thus not being able to update very often.
Here's a short post about using phonecards. Basically, one would have to look for a payphone that charges via phonecards. First insert your phonecard into the card-slot. Then enter the phone number of the person whom you wish to contact. Most public payphones charge 10 cents every 3 minutes for local call.
Once call has been completed, caller hangs up the phone. The card will be ejected from the card slot. What is different, is that now a hole is punched on the line at the rear of the phonecard mark the value that is left in the card. It is only a very tiny hole, and hence will not pierce through to the front of the card and affect its frontal appearance.
If i'm not mistaken, once the card exhausts its value, a larger hole will be indented on the value-line of the card. However, this hole will still not be deep enough to cause a through-hole. Hence benefitting card collectors greatly.
