Forest’s Unstructured Supplementary Services Data (USSD) Gateway provides custom made user experience to mobile operators’ subscriber base. The solution can create new revenue streams for mobile operators by enabling the following
Faster Messaging
Real Time Charging
Content Delivery
Surveys
Banking Services
The USSD Gateway allows mobile subscribers to send USSD messages and to receive information and services from mobile operators, as well as third-party Value Added Services (VAS). USSD messages are session-based, which means real-time connection is established for two-way data exchange. This makes USSD messaging more responsive than SMS messages. Forest’s RESTful HTTP API allows web developers to effortlessly create new USSD applications for the mobile network and VAS partners’ integration.
“USSD is a menu-driven service and therefore, more engaging and interactive than the traditional SMS. This communication technology also enables faster and more reliable message delivery at a lower cost, making it a preferred mass communication option.”

The USSD Gateway developed by Forest Interactive is a cost-effective and user-friendly platform that enables seamless operation and management for mobile network operators and business owners. It is also time-efficient, providing request automation from the service carrier in a simple and fast way.

Global Accessibility
Forest Interactive’s USSD Gateway provides inbound roamers support, enabling USSD services to be accessed in the same manner by the subscribers while they are roaming in another country. The Home Network subscriber or the inbound roamer can send a USSD message to initiate or maintain an interactive session. This provides familiarity to subscribers, encouraging the use of service regardless of their locations.
