Hi!

How I can send USSD command in text? I know only this sequence - *100#

Thank you in advance!

Try this kind of modem settings:

regular_run_cmd = AT+CUSD=1,"*100#",0;
regular_run_interval = 600
regular_run_logfile = /var/log/smsd_regular_run.log


If you see an error in the log, you could try without the ending ,0;.

If you still get error, replace *100# with AA180C3602 and use a modem setting ussd_convert = 2.

Hi!

It returns UCS encoded string.
Is it possible to decode in code?

By the way - your converter http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/topic.php?id=288 works great.
I use USSD Entry/Display UCS2 encoding, pressing convert and recieve


with iconv -f UCS-2 -t UTF-8 i got some arabic symbols)

Iconv does not convert the string, because the string is not UCS2, it is hexadecimal represensation of UCS2.

Modem setting ussd_convert = 1 should do the job.

However, there is an active problem with balance queries in Russian Federation, probably elsewhere too. I'm working with it right now and likely the 3.1.21 version may have some enhancements for handling of ussd.

Hmmm.... Maybe I can get UCS to HEX conversion for each 0x hex byte in my sequence? Let's say, reinterprete your algo on PDU converter)

Sorry, I think that I did not understand your question, but did you try ussd_convert = 1 and did it work for you?

No, this setting makes nothing for me.
I meant, that maybe it's possible to repeat your code from PDU converter online http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/topic.php?id=288

Of course it is possible to repeat the code from PDU converter, but I do not understand why. If you are sending balance queries with regular_run_cmd, smsd should convert the answer automatically.

The code expects OK +CUSD: 2,"data... but CREG information is received after the OK and the code is not 2. This is why the answer is not recognized.

This likely is operator-depended issue, and I have to change the code to accept any variations. I can do it probably tomorrow, and I will post a notification as soon as the 3.1.21beta package is available for your testing.

3.1.21 is now available for download.

As you are running FreeBSD on Raspberry Pi, this version is important for you. See the src/Makefile, there are comments about FreeBSD.
