Basic Concept of USSD

USSD or unstructured Supplementary Service Data is a unique technology which is only owned by the GSM. This technology is intended for the exchange of information in text form through the channel signals from a GSM network.

USSD differs from the other short message bearer, SMS   It is not a store-and-forward bearer like SMS, but a transparent session-based bearer ideal for transacting. Information is delivered and responses obtained in real-time. Simply put, USSD is similar to speaking to someone on a phone as SMS is sending a letter. USSD is also not a point-to-point bearer such as SMS. One subscriber cannot send another text using USSD unless there is a special network application offering such an application.

One can send 182 characters using USSD, but SMS only allows for 140 x 8-bit, or 160 x 7-bit characters. Like SMS, USSD uses the GSM control channels for data transfer. SMS and USSD both use the SDCCH (stand-alone dedicated control channel) when the handset is not in a call. When the handset is busy with a call, USSD will use the FACCH (fast associated control channel) with a significant improvement in transfer speed (1 Kbps).
