If the code that is used for changing the number is a message to the provider like, for example: *109*(Phonenumber)# you can put ussd-widget on your desktop and configure it to send this code. But you will have to change the configuration every time you want to change your number bcause at the moment every ussd-widget you put on your desktop uses the same config file.

It would be nice if a future ussd-widget version would support multiple instances with different config files.
