Petroleum-related Phonecards
of
the World
This tabular, illustrated listing is provided for the convenience and interest of other petroleum phonecard collectors. It certainly is incomplete and may have some incorrect information, especially because I do not have copies of all these items myself. If you can correct errors or omissions, or if you can supply digital illustrations for some of these items, I would be very grateful. Please contact me at scholle1@nmt.edu. If you have petroleum-related phonecards for sale or trade, I would also be very glad if you would contact me.
Catalog number for British oil-related phone cards are from "The Standard Catalogue of U.K. Telephone Cards" published by and available from: The Telephone Card Catalogue Co., PO Box 364, South Croydon, Surrey CR2 9ZU, U.K. They "encourage and welcome the use of the information contained in their catalogue for the greater benefit of the hobby and the wider dissemination of knowledge". You can see a up-to-date listing of oil-related cards, including ones for sale, at Pete Bird's site.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Because the information on this page is contained a large table, nothing below
this note may show up on your browser until the table is completely loaded (and
that may take some time if you have a slow internet connection) — so please
be patient.
