What is USSD ?
USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) is a menu-based system that enables interfacing with content based services. Instead of a browser, which requires an internet / GPRS connection), the USSD menu acts as browser to pull content to the phone. Airtel’s USSD solution is based on Fonetwish, developed by U2opia Mobile. USSD is somewhat faster than SMS because it is a session-based communication, unlike SMS, which is transaction based.
