USSD Applications Development in Kenya
What is USSD?
Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) is a powerful communication technology that allows GSM cellular phones to interact with a remote application in real-time via short codes.
It operates through a simple and efficient text-based interface known as menus. Unlike SMS, USSD is session-based, allowing for instant, two-way communication without the need for an internet connection.
A communication session can be initiated either through USSD-PUSH (Originated by Provider & Terminated on Mobile) or a USSD-PULL (Mobile Originated & Provider Terminated). The USSD-PULL is the most common where a mobile phone user dials a code that takes form of *XYZ# eg. *123# on their phone.
USSD service is highly effective and versatile tool for businesses looking to reach a broad audience, including those using feature phones.

USSD applications offer numerous advantages that make it an ideal choice for various business applications:
