As some of you may already know, Phonecards was
the very first category on Colnect. It is the founding corner stone of our community. All other categories on Colnect have originated following the first footsteps made by the Phonecards category, community and most of all - coordinators,
editors and
contributors.
It is incredible to see how far it has gone since! Colnect now is very proud to announce that the Phonecards catalog now displays
500,005 phonecards, surpassing half a million cards.
How was it done? It was done by the ceaseless quest of so many collectors to add more items, more information, make it more accurate and in general - make the Colnect Phonecards Great. It a long journey that aims for perfection. In the last 30 days alone,
2,701 Phonecards from 50 countries were added to the catalog.

And therefore we have to give credit, as we can, to the numerous wonderful collectors who have made it happen and are continuing to make it happen every day. Coordinators that manage the catalogs, keeping a keen eye for detail, country
Editors that diversify, clean and correct the catalogs,
Contributors that add new information and images every day.
The current Phonecards category coordinator is no other than the amazing Ignacio F López Vico [
iflvico], Colnect's community manager and one of the original core team on Colnect. He has coordinated this category before as well, but there were more coordinators along the way who have helped bring the category to where it is today - Yury Yelensky [
Landerstorm], Carlos Rodriguez, [
venezuelanphonecards], Vadym Sulimenko [
Dravec] and Trudy Hoogenboom [
trudyh]. Important to note also Karl Heinz Degener [
neizi], Hernan Bofill [
hbofill12], Sombat Tamtirapong [
kung1951], Graeme Kilpatrick [
nzexchange] and Jorge Pablo Villegas [
Jorgepablo2005].
It is not possible to properly thank the many many collectors who have each added to this accomplishment in a great way. As you see on the editors and contributors lists, they are too many to mention. Each of them taking much care in their treatment of the catalog, each responsible for different part of the catalog, sometimes even creating a whole section from scratch. Thank you all, for bringing all this beauty into the world's view.
Thank you very much to each and every one of you, for making the catalog beautiful for the hundreds of thousands visiting it every month from around the world.
