Hey, viewers today, we will discuss what is ussd and why it was brought in action. Well, frankly speaking it is mainly used to reduce or to save time. In previous time, when a cell phone user was wanted to check his mobile balance or validity then he/she had to call to Interactive Voice Response (IVR) which is an automated telephony system that interacts with callers, gathers information and routes calls to the appropriate recipient. So, people were needed to call to IVR and the had to keep on hold for sometimes and then he/she was able to know their balance. But, we know time is money and we don't wanna waste it. So, what if you immediately want to check your balance, validity. So, that's why ussd came into existence.
USSD is short form of unstructured supplementary service data.The codes which directly communicate with the server of telecom company is called as the USSD.
USSD is a code starting from * and ending up with # sign. For example, to check balance we type *125#, *367#, *111# etc that is different for different mobile operator.
So, as soon you just dial your ussd code, you immediately get information. So, it saves a lot of time. Now a days, ussd codes are used for mobile banking, money transferring etc. In foreign country, ussd code is used even to locate current GPS location, nearest hotels, restaurants etc.
Extra Knowledge regarding ussd: I will give you a small trick regarding ussd. Suppose you dial say *121# and you see list of options with different services i.e, Local Calls, Pocket Internet, SMS etc. Now, let's say in option 1 you are having SMS plans. So, inspite of dialing *121# and then selecting 1 then click on "OK", you can directly dial *121*1# to get the job done. But, sometimes the operator may change or update their ussd list. So, say previously in option 1 after dialing *121#, there was sms plan, it may happen that there may be some caller tune activating service, so your balance can get deducted due to activating that service. So, make sure that your ussd plan has not changed.
So, that's it for today guys, will be back soon. Please like, share & subscribe.
