What is USSD PUSH? USSD PUSH is a product for content providers who need to transmit a large number of USSD messages (USSD) to DiGi’s GSM subscribers. The price for sending USSD depends on the number of messages sent each month. The more USSD sent, the greater the discount. Content providers will be assigned an account for the USSD PUSH product which will be used to send the USSD to DiGi subscribers.
Content providers will need to connect to DiGi’s infrastructure via a VPN connection through the Internet or a leased line.
Capacity In addition to cross offering contents via a menu based list, another benefit that may be reaped by the content provider is the rate at which the messages are transmitted through USSD PUSH. The number of messages to be sent will be transmitted at 10 USSD per second. The transmission of an SMS message from an ordinary mobile telephone takes several seconds.
Billing Invoicing for a USSD PUSH subscription takes place on a monthly basis. All usage by the content provider for a particular month is accumulated and invoiced at the beginning of the next month. The invoice received by the client from DiGi will specify the total number of messages and the total price for the month in question.
