Phonecard Magazines

Many people discover phonecard collecting via the internet, and may not realize that there is a wealth of information out there. What I like to do on an occasional basis is point out these resources. In the past, I have only listed a few sources. I’ve tried to expand that to many more. If you publish a magazine and I have left you out, my apologies, as it was not intentional. Please write me so I can include you in a follow-up. I’ve included magazines that are printed and sent via mail, as well as a couple of on-line resources

This is something that I consider a must have magazine for anyone that collects U.S. phonecards. It has been around for a long time, and feature great articles.

PCM Report is in my opinion the best price guide for US Cards. Their articles tend to focus on the telecommunications industry though.

Intele-Card News is definitely an industry focus magazine, but they do have articles that would interest a collector.
