BTA: Advertising BT Phonecards

These British Telecom (BT) Phonecards were cards commissioned by a company, other than BT, to promote a specific product or service. The cards are available to all members of the general public either through normal retail channels at face value, or obtainable through some action such as thepurchase of the specific product(s) or service(s) concerned, thus enabling the buyer to obtain the card free of charge. Phonecards commissioned from within the telephone card trade are excluded from this category.
