Phonecard
As an independent country, the authorities in Pridnestrovie are in charge of the nation's telecommunications service infrastructure. The company handling telephone communications, TIRASPOL TELECOM, issues its own phonecards.
In July 1998 the first phonecards series were issued in Tiraspol, capital of Pridnestrovie, by the nation's telecommunications organization TIRASPOL TELECOM.
The cards are made independently of Moldova's phone system, with a technology more advanced than that used on Moldova.
Series contains 3 cards: 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 120 minutes.
In Tiraspol, the capital of Pridnestrovie, all local calls from public payphones are free. You do not need coins or a phonecard: Just locate a public phone and, if your call is within the city, you can make the call at no cost to you. You must still pay for long distance calls.
