Funny. Back then (2004), we had the digital version of the land phone. While coming from school, we would write down every phone number on sign posts, books etc., then call the hell out of Them.
Lord have mercy smiley We even called our principal times without number, forming Bado for the old man.

We used to use this card 1994 to call my sister who just moved to England. We used to go to the Nigel office at Falomo and queue up on long line with mumc. One of us would be checking d units and certain amount goes goes we would end the call so we still have credit to call another day.


Those days some guys would tap into Nigel line on the road and stand shouting call international.
That way if u use them it would be much much cheaper than using Nitel.
