Note: This series is the first to be called "Yabba" cards, a name which is to replace the "TalkAway" name. In July 2001 the plastic cards shown above were replaced by cards of identical design printed on thinner cardboard. These reprints can also be distinguished by white panels on the reverse where the expiry date and code numbers are printed.

$15 Pink

$30 Orange

$50 Green

Note: The "Thomas Cook" Yabba cards are the same as the basic Telecom Yabba cards except that they have the Thomas Cook imprint on the face as part of the printed design.

Note: the above card has a standard Yabba back with pin number and phonecard expiry date which does not usually correspond with the YHA membership expiry date shown on the front of the card.

$10 Andrew Morrison

$20 Daniel Kereopa

Note: These cards are not branded Yabba but they fit in here most easily because unlike other Telecom "Boost" cards which are for recharging cellphones, these two cards are for use from any landline touch tone phone.

$5 Ryan Plumbers

$5 A E Waite Ltd

Note: Telecom issued a series of 4 Adcards (Regular magnetic cards) in the late 1990's for various plumbing merchants with different companies having their names printed on the card reverses.  With magnetic cards being replaced in late 1999 the idea of special phonecards for plumbers was continued but with a Yabba card instead.  It is not  known how many different companies have cards so it is possible other designs and values exist.

The above card at left first appeared in 2002 and is printed on cardboard. The design at right which first appeared in 2004 is virtually identical to a holiday rewards plastic card previously issued as a Talkaway series card. The only differences are on the backs.
