• a user interface configured to receive a request for a PIN associated with a first of the plural prepaid services provided by a first of the plural prepaid service providers;
• and
• a dispensing mechanism for printing, in accordance with a first of the receipt templates associated with the first of the plural prepaid services, a receipt containing a requested PIN and other information associated with the first of the plural prepaid services.

A PIN delivery system comprising:

• a plurality of client terminals configured to receive information from a plurality of prepaid service providers wherein at least a first client terminal included within the plurality of client terminals is of a first terminal type and wherein at least a second client terminal included within the plurality of client terminals is of a second terminal type, said first client terminal containing a first client terminal processor and first client terminal memory operatively coupled to said first client terminal processor and said second client terminal containing a second client terminal processor and second client terminal memory operatively coupled to said second client terminal processor;
• a server containing a server processor and server memory operatively coupled to the server processor;
• and
• a database in communication with the server, the database containing:
• a plurality of sets of PINs associated with a corresponding plurality of prepaid services provided by the plurality of prepaid service providers;
• a first set of receipt templates, including one or more templates from each of a plurality of the plurality of service providers, disposed to be utilized by ones of the client terminals of said first terminal type wherein at least one of said receipt templates in one of said first set of receipt templates includes a PIN field;
• a second set of receipt templates, including one or more templates from each of a plurality of the plurality of service providers, disposed to be utilized by ones of the client terminals of said second terminal type server wherein at least one of said receipt templates in one of said second set of receipt templates includes a PIN field;
• wherein the server processor executes instructions stored in the server memory for:
• sending, to the first client terminal, the first set of receipt templates and at least a first PIN included within the plurality of sets of PINs;
• and
• sending, to the second client terminal, the second set of receipt templates and at least a second PIN included within the plurality of sets of PINs, and
• wherein the first client terminal processor executes instructions stored in the first client terminal memory for:
• receiving and storing the first set of receipt templates and receiving at least a first PIN included within the plurality of sets of PINs, and
• wherein the second client terminal processor executes instructions stored in the second client terminal memory for:
• receiving and storing the second set of receipt templates and receiving at least a second PIN included within the plurality of sets of PINs.

A client terminal configured to assist in processing plural prepaid services comprising:

• an input device;
• a display;
• a processor;
• and
• a processor readable memory configured to store data and one or more computer programs having instructions configured to be executed on said processor, said instructions configured to:
