<b>Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD)</b> is communication protocol used in communication between cellular devices and mobile network operators. It is usually used with prepaid SIM cards to enable/disable certain services or to obtain information from a network operator.


The '''SMS limit settings''' section provides you with the possibility to set SMS limit for your SIM card.
This section provides the possibility to send USSD messages to the mobile operator.

The '''Network operators''' tab provides you with the possibility to scan for and manually manage mobile network operators to which the device's SIM card can connect to. Operator selection is only available for the primary SIM card. In order to specify an operator for the other SIM card it must first be selected as the primary SIM in the SIM Management section.

As default '''Connection mode''' is set to '''AUTO''', although to initiate a scan, select connection mode '''Manual''', press '''Scan for operators''' and then you will be prompted with a pop-up asking if you wish to proceed. This is because while the scan is in progress you will lose your data connection for up to 3 minutes.  
Will be prompted with a pop-up asking if you're sure. Click 'Yes' if you wish to proceed.
