And now it’s even smarter - and even more useful to you - because you can also use it to pay for your parking in Clitheroe.


It’s as easy to use for parking as it is for making a phone call. Just insert your card into the pay and display machine and follow the instructions. It’s as simple as that!

Clitheroe is the very first place in the UK to use the New BT Phonecard in this way. Once you’ve tried it and seen for yourself how it saves you time and trouble, we think you’ll be glad you did.
