Some one tell me, when u dial the Orange hotline number & for ur query as u speak to the customer care executive they would as you ur date of birth and billing address also u can call on behalf of someone, provide these details & still information out from them. People using Orange wud know this.

Now my question is how does it work & how secure is this? Coz take for instance, ummmm, ok , I know my neighbor is a orange subscriber, I wud know his DOB as well the Add, I cud easily get account details , how safe is this? N e one knowing n e ones DOb, Add & fone no can easily have access.

I hope u r understanding wat I m tryin to say. Its like when we have forgotten password & if someone knows the answer to my secret Qs, one can easily acquire the password, so watz the security?

They have a caller ID function. If you mess around with someone and made him pay, then on his complain, they may be able to trace you. Of course if you use PCO, things are different. So its not 100% secure :roll:
