Say you have a USSD service which has the following structure:

Main menu -> *123#

Menu Item 1 -> Press 1 from main menu

Menu Item 2 -> Press 2 from main menu

Is there any way to dial a single command to go straight to Menu Item 1, for example *123#1 as opposed to dialing *123#, then waiting for the Menu, THEN selecting 1?

Hope the question is clear.

Yes, you have to handle USSD auto dialing in your application. For example a user should be able to dial *123*2# to go straight to menu item 2. Check the SMSGH USSD Framework for implementation details here from line 69.

  • hmm, i see. But the problem is, i want to use an already existing USSD service(not developed by me) in this manner in my application – BiGGZ Jan 15 '17 at 16:31
  • but looking at that code, its obvious that it depends on the implementation. Thanks – BiGGZ Jan 15 '17 at 16:38
  • This depends on the telco. Many prevent going to sub-menus for security reasons – davkutalek Apr 20 '20 at 17:54
