The first card used in Zambia was from the ZamTel Company and it was a card with a Gemplus rechargeable chip. In fact, on the card appears the writing “Return after use”, ie it had to be returned after use to be able to be recharged. For this reason it is very difficult to find these cards used in good condition. In 1998, other cards with normal, non-rechargeable chips were issued by Zynex Telekom.
