The Worldwide Phonecards Collectors Club brings together collectors and enthusiasts from around the world, united by their passion for phonecards and the history they carry.
OUR FLAGSHIP EVENT
Every spring, the world’s most passionate phonecards collectors gather at the PIM – Phonecards International Meeting: the largest annual international event exclusively dedicated to phonecard collecting.
Three editions since 2024, exhibitors from around the world, free admission for all.
The PIM is where collections grow, friendships form and the cultural history of phonecards is celebrated.
From international events to online content, from a global community
to charity initiatives – this is what WPC Club is about.
Phonecards collectors from around the world, connected by a shared passion.
The world’s largest annual event dedicated exclusively to phonecard collecting.
Every year at the PIM, we raise funds for a nonprofit cause through a dedicated auction.
WPC Club collaborates with cultural institutions, international associations
and organizations that share our mission to promote and preserve the culture
of phonecard collecting worldwide.
The Phonecard Museum, based in Australia, is the world’s reference online archive for phonecard collectors, offering an extensive digital archive, cataloguing tools and research materials for enthusiasts from around the world.
The Museo Telefonia Pubblica, located near Parma, is the largest museum in Italy dedicated to public telephony. It preserves the telephones, booths and tokens that form the cultural world in which the phonecard was born and flourished.
