Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) is a telecommunication technology used for interactive communication. USSD Interaction, which is usually menu-based, involves sending text between a mobile phone and an application program in the network.
With the use of a unique USSD code like *200#, customers can quickly and easily navigate the menu system on their mobile devices for a variety of reasons like data collection and for self-care.
