Session-based text communication, popular for banking or in education Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) is a GSM protocol which has until recently been overlooked and under utilised when compared to SMS. USSD is, an interactive service or menu based service all that all GSM handsets can use. With the menus clients are able to select which service they want by initiating a session by dialing number like *555#. This service supports longer message content than traditional SMS, and is generally considered more responsive than SMS
USSD's main strengths are interactivity and low cost. It is often used by banks to provide their clients with a quick interface for basic account actions, or by MNOs who are introducing advanced user features. It is commonly used in banking, mobile polling and education but has virtually limitless applications.
