I was also thinking about implementing it all in USSD-Widget but I decided for a 2-tool version because this way you can tap on the DCE-Widget to display the latest balance and don't have to always request for the current balance. As I don't do calls often and rarely send SMS I'm quite satisfied with querying the balance once or twice a week. But for convenience I'd like to have the balance displayed on my desktop.
