NHP,

That's his SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module). It has one corner removed to fit in its holder under or beside the battery.

My children go to the local shops and buy credits for their phones or can buy over their ATM account as your son does.

The local shops have a terminal (from a company called Alphyra)on which they indicate the network and the amount of credit required, the terminal prints out a receipt with a code which you enter and send on your phone and your credits are immediately updated.
