Want my partially used phone card?

We just returned from a fabulous trip, and I had intended to give my partially used Europa phone card to another traveler on our way out of the country, but forgot about it.

If you are interested, you can send me a private message. I think the card still has quite a few minutes remaining. It was originally 5 Euro card (which I think was 250 minutes). We used it a little, but I think there are at least 200 minutes left.

Ah, by the time I return it may not be good anymore. Why not pass it on now and not have it cluttering up my house? :)

Brittany good idea,, I kept mine as it had an expiry date on the card( mine was from 2007 and good till 2009) and I used it up this year..

I hope someone takes you up on offer, a card is easy to mail and if it doesn't work you are only out a stamp ,, and the receiever is out nothing,, so great recyling..

My card worked a year after I bought it,, so unless you can see an past expiry date on card then go for it!!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to everyone who enquired- the card has been passed on to another Rick Steve's Traveler!

Do you know what country it can be used in? I have 2 that are partially used. I bought a 10 euro one in Austria because I thought it would work in all the countries I was visiting. (it had a toll free number on the back for different countries) I could only get it to work in Austria, so it must have lots of time left. I had to buy a 5 euro one my last day in Germany because I had to make a critical phone call. I probably used 20 minutes of the over 200. The only thing about that one, is that the guy who sold it to me said it would not last very long at a pay phone. He said I needed to use it land line to land line. I thought a pay phone was a land line, but after I had bought it he said "don't use it at a pay phone". I had a phone in my hotel room and used it there. It should also have 150-200 minutes left. They both have expiration dates and I am not planning to go back next year so... If I don't find anyone else going, I may just drop it off at Europe through the back door next time I am in Edmonds. I may even just approach someone buying a guidebook or something and give them a going away gift. It would make me feel better knowing someone got my moneys worth.
