List of USSD Codes in Zimbabwe
USSDs – Unstructured Supplementary Service Data.
These are the short codes ("quick codes" or "feature codes") that you dial on your mobile to get to a menu to pay or move money etc.
For , example, you dial *405# to get to Techzim Market, and there is a menu:
1. English
2. Shona
3. Ndebele
Then
1. Airtime
2. ZESA
3. NetOne, TelOne, Econt bundles
4. Pay Nyaradzo
5. Help
6. English-Shona-Ndebele
7. Agent
8. Roadshows
USSD are communications protocols, allowing a two-way exchange of a sequence of data. USSD messages are up to 182 alphanumeric characters long. When a user sends a message to the phone company network, it is received by a computer dedicated to USSD.
I never remember what the codes are and have scraps of paper all over with codes written on them. To help people like me (and save paper!) here are two lists, alphabetical and numerical, of all the USSDs I could find in use in Zimbabwe.
