Dedicated and Shared USSD Solutions in Nigeria

USSD Solutions in Nigeria

Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) is a protocol used by GSM cellular telephones to communicate with the service provider's computers. USSD can be used for WAP browsing, prepaid callback services, mobile-money services, location-based content services, menu-based information services, and as part of configuring the phone on the network.

USSD messages are up to 182 alphanumeric characters in length. Unlike SMS messages, USSD messages create a real-time connection during a USSD session. The connection remains open, allowing a two-way exchange of a sequence of data. This makes USSD potentially more responsive than services that use SMS, if a real-time interaction is desired.

The initiation of the communication can either be USSD-PUSH (Mobile Terminated & Provider Originated) or a USSD-PULL (Mobile Originated & Provider Terminated). USSD works using a connection oriented HTTP API between our USSD gateway and your application.

What is Reverse Billing? Reverse billing simply means that you do not want your users to be billied. Instead, the system will bill you for every time the user is making use of your application. See cost below. A full session is considered one (1) minute. However, sessions are billed per second.
