What is USSD?

-Unstructured Supplementary Service Data.

- GSM technology.

-Used for communication between a mobile phone and an application in the network.

-Eg. Its USSD communication happening,when you recharge your mobile credit via recharge cards,or communicate with the service provider through menu-driven application provided by them. You must surely have noticed the message ''USSD code running'' while recharging your phone.

-This is similar to SMS.

-But unlike SMS,USSD is realtime/live.

-You can save SMSs in your device for any period of time,but USSD communications can't be saved.
