We’re ready to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first phone card with a special edition of the PIM – Phonecards International Meeting, the world’s largest event dedicated to phone card collectors, from April 17 to 19, 2026.

The goal of the PIM is to provide a meeting place for collectors from around the world, both for exchanging information and meeting face-to-face, and for trading and buying. To best support exhibitors who already incur significant travel and food costs, a symbolic contribution of €85 per table is requested from exhibitors, who are also members of the association.

Many collector friends are already supporting the association with memberships, which include receiving an exclusive, limited-edition Membership Card. This provides us with the necessary support to keep exhibitor costs low and provide free admission to the fair.

We have already established several hotel agreements to best accommodate international visitors, but many more agreements and initiatives will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Celebratory phonecards will be produced in addition to the Worldwide Phonecard Collectors Club 2026 Membership Card. Priority purchases of the limited-edition commemorative phonecards will be given to Worldwide Phonecard Collectors Club members, so please take this opportunity to support our association, which organizes the PIM Fair and all related 50th anniversary activities.

Membership for 2026 is now open, as is the submission of exhibitor applications. Don’t delay!
