The prepaid card comes in different denominations from 15,000 to 75,000 cedis and can be used for international calls on any GT phone.

Users of the prepaid card will not receive any bills from Ghana Telecom and have the opportunity of controlling their telephone calls and budgets. Company officials told Joy News that other packages under its advanced intelligent network services would be launched alongside the prepaid service.
