USSD Query [tips]

Almost all GSM users across the world use USSD queries for various purposes like payments, balance enquiries and recharging. Read more on USSD queries here.

In India, we use it for balance enquiries & recharging. For eg., on my AIRCEL, I have to use *125# to check my prepaid balance and similarly other providers have their own codes.
On N900, I cannot use this. It says incorrect number when I dial *125# and here's a solution on how to use it.
The simplest way for USSD queries is to go to the TERMINAL & then type " ussdquery.py *125# " and click enter. Replace *125# with your query. [Click here to see additional options available].
If you do not want to use the terminal, then there are 2 apps which come handy. USSD-PAD & USSD widget. Both are very simple to use. Click here to download them.

PS: I used MaStory which allows you to blog to wordpress, blogger, livejournal & drupal from your Maemo device.
