Given, your provider sends a regular SMS you should receive this one even with the N900. This device is capable of receiving and displaying SMS.

What I was talking about is another constellation: my provider doesn't send me a SMS after each call I make, I have to query it by sending a special USSD code. Formerly the answer -- containing the actual balance -- was send as reply to this code but it was changed to the described behaviour.

- I also would like to know how I can send a USSD sms.
USSD are special codes, not to compare with a regular SMS. You can send these codes and watch the resulting answer using the application USSD-Widget. This is just a kind of workaround until Nokia implements USSD support to the firmware.
