Tip of the day: Adding USSD functionality to the N900

Currently the N900 does not accept USSD starting with: *# (Star/Pound). This might be very crucial for some. My operator for example requires me to enter #191# to check my minutes. From what we’re hearing this functionality is supposed to be integrated in the PR 1.2 update for the N900 and is a documented missing feature in bug 5357.

While we wait for PR1.2, there’s a cool little widget that adds this functionality called ussd-widget. It’s a small little widget that allows you to enter your codes and by simple press you can get this functionality.
