Download and install USSD Widget from the extras-devel repository.

ok my current status is this.

i have installed the widget, and i see it on my desktop

when i click on it though, its always showing error. I manually loaded it from the x-terminal with python /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/ussd-widget.py

and it also gave me an error.

Im expecting to define or send some parameters to the widget so as to access these features from my network

Any advice......

--if we dont solve this , then we cant use our N900 in south africa during world cup ") ------


All i need to do is type *556# to check my outstanding balance and
*555*123456789012# to load funds on my sim... Shouldnt be this difficult.

Bring up the app's settings dialogue box by touching/holding anywhere on the screen. You'll see a little gear cog icon on the left side of thw widget. Click the gear cog icon to bring up the settings dialogue. Enter your numbers in USSD Number field. Give it a name. Save your settings. Touch the widget to send your request. Voila!

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the previous help.....

Question:

What if i want the USSD to request a value to be entered by me.

E.G.

I want to press LOAD CREDIT on my desktop which has already been preprogrammed to invoke *556# but before sending the request to the carrier, i want to enter 12345567755# after which it then sends.

Right now, if i program in *556#123456789012# it works. Im just pushing the envelope a little bit more.

So again ,

1) the widget is preprogrammed with *556# after which it requests a value to be passed to it after which i enter and submit, it then transmit to the carrier. Is this even possible.
thanks
