Reliance uses 4 digit web pin, while Airtel CallHome has an 8 digit alphanumeric pin. Experts say, An 8 digit alphanumeric Pin is one of the most secure ways to transact and a 4 digit numeric pin is more vulnerabl. A 4 digit pin can be cracked in less then 60 seconds. prepaid calling card
An eight-digit alphanumeric Pin number that comprises of numbers, upper case and lower case alphabets is one of the strongest passwords and takes 25 days by the fastest attack method and with slowest pace takes 692 years to crack . prepaid calling card
