USSD System VI is the Swiss Army knife of Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) platforms—offering a full suite of tools to deliver a complete, turnkey solution for all your USSD needs across 2G, 3G, and LTE networks.
USSD System VI is a standards-based USSD Gateway that enables the mobile network to provide subscribers with real-time, session-based communication for value-added services such as balance inquiries, mobile banking, prepaid recharges, customer support, and promotional campaigns.
It acts as a bridge between mobile subscribers and USSD service applications, handling both Mobile-Originating (MO) and Application-Originating (AO) USSD sessions. For operators, the gateway provides a centralised platform to create, manage, and route USSD-based services. For subscribers, it delivers fast, session-based interactions without the need for internet access or smartphone capabilities, ensuring accessibility to essential mobile services on any handset.
USSD is a high-engagement channel for mobile account self-care that millions of subscribers use daily. It is also a proven revenue driver—enabling the sale of airtime, data bundles, and value-added digital services (like call- me-back), while unlocking new income streams through mobile banking.
With USSD System VI’s USSD Gateway, your subscribers can instantly top up, check balances, and manage their plans—boosting service usage and reducing call centre overheads. You can also drive personalised promotions during USSD sessions to upsell your offerings and advertise third-party products and services.
On top of this, by partnering with banks and fintechs, the gateway opens up high-margin transaction-based revenue from mobile banking, payments, micro-insurance, and mobile loans—all delivered through a familiar and accessible interface.
Designed for telecom operators of every size, USSD System VI is field-proven at multiple Tier-1, 2, and 3 sites across Africa and Europe. It provides you with all the tools needed to build and route flexible USSD services. Pharos also offers a USSi Gateway add-on option if you would like to extend USSD access to subscribers on IP networks. Flexibly, System VI supports modern virtualised and cloud deployments and is designed to scale seamlessly to serve your future needs.
Because of its many uses, USSD will remain a valuable part of the mobile network for many years to come.
