A Happy New Year to all visitors to the IPTP! The site continues to grow, with many more links to telecom operatoes around the world, as well as a new season of phonecard events to bring the community together.

4th February, 2005

The IPTP has moved to a new home - same content, but different URL. DOn't forget to tell your friends to update their links and bookmarks...to http://homepage.ntlworld.com/percivale/IPTP/

14th January, 2005

A new year of phonecard events is underway!

15th March, 2004

Time for some spring cleaning! Did a major sweep of all sections, removing dead links and updating others.

11th January, 2004

Well, the New Year has arrived so quickly it's hard to know where all the time has gone. Must be the increasing buzz of activity in the phonecard world?! The number of web pages by collectors, dealers and companies continues to grow, so keep checking out these pages for the latest info. A Happy 2004 to everyone!

12th April, 2003

For those whose aim it is to collect one phonecard from every country in the world, or anyone who just wants to brush up on their geography, I've added a list of all the countries and territories in the world, with those issuing phonecards marked in blue. Happy phonecard-hunting!

3rd November, 2002

I've added three simple utilities for use while browsing for phonecards. The calculator, calendar and notepad can be activated from the Utensils section. Clicking on the blue links in the calendar will take you to the relevant event in the current year's Event Calendar!!! By the way, the notepad only provides temporary storage for text, so be sure to copy it to your regularly text editor/word processor before closing your web browser if you want to save what you have written!

25th October, 2002

For Windows users, I've added some colour to the scroll bars to liven things up a little...

23rd January, 2002

It's a new year, and the IPTP continues to bring you the latest info on phonecards on the web! Check out the 2002 phonecard events page to see what trading and collecting opportunities await you in the year ahead!

16th March, 2001

I've added a fake phonecards page to help collectors avoid being caught by these scams. Needless to say, I've been stung by these recently myself....

8th March, 2001

I've scoured the web for more telecoms, and added a couple of dozen new sites to the Distributors & Manufacturers section, mostly from non-European countries. Many have info on the phonecards they produce, so if you are looking for rare or exotic cards, they are well worth a visit.

27th January, 2001

Welcome to the new millennium! As well as continually updating and adding new links, I've added the first edition of the Event Calendar for this year! Have a great 2001!

23rd November, 2000

I've finally taken the plunge and joined a few phonecard web rings. Hopefully this will enable people to find other interesting phonecard sites not already listed on the IPTP.

20th October, 2000

Added some tips on caring for your phonecards to the Collectors - Swapping section.

13th September, 2000

Something I've been planning on doing for a while - adding some phonecard graphics to the main page! Well, it's finally done - I hope it whets the appetites of collectors to trade for more cards...

10th September, 2000

Links to What's New?!, Event Calendar and Site Map have been added to each section menu so there's no need to return to Main menu when you want to access these.

18th August, 2000

Added a Site Map page to show how the IPTP is organised. It's rather simple, really.

29th July, 2000

Added a new page for listing international phonecard events. If you are holding a phonecard-related meeting you would like listed on the IPTP, send me an e-mail and I will add it to the Event Calendar.

2nd July, 2000

Another busy week with a couple of additions each to the Collectors - Swapping, Catalogues & Card Lists and Other Resources sections.

24th June, 2000

The interactive map in the Collectors - Swapping section appears to be working well, so I've installed it for all categories (except Web Tools). If anyone experiences any problems (browser incompatibility, etc), please let me know and I'll make appropriate changes.

22nd June, 2000

The IPTP has taken a step up into the world of interactive graphics! Check out the new map in the Collectors - Swapping section.

20th June, 2000

It's been a busy day! Tidied up several broken links, added new auction and resource sites, and joined the new VTC Top 100 Phonecard Sites and Telefonkarten Top 50 lists. Don't forget to vote for your favourite phonecard site!

18th June, 2000

The IPTP continues to grow! This week saw the addition of 2 new collectors and 2 new dealers.

13th June, 2000

Added IPTP link icon to Web Tools page for anyone and everyone to download and add to their home pages!

8th June, 2000

Removed links to pages on Andy's web site which haven't been updated for over a year.

Added links to Distributors & Manufacturers and Web Tools pages.

4th June, 2000

Added the "What's New?!" page.

Rearranged the title page to make more sense to first-time visitors.
