Missing USSD functionality: N900 can't dial numbers beginning with # or *
 

My operator's credit check function requires me to "call" *5002#

I've tried that with the phone application and it is rejected as an invalid number. The SMS application, on the other hand, complains that I did not enter any text before hitting "send".

Bug, planned feature for future or just blank space for personal projects?

There's a bug filed for this. For now, no numbers starting with # (network commands) don't work, but a fix is coming afaik.

Hi zooz,

the current firmware of the N900 does not support USSD codes, support for USSD codes will come in a firmware update.

See bug #5357: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5357

what?

this is like building a car where the brake doesnt work - you can drive, but its really questionable.

Re: Cant dial #123#
 

No, it's more like building a car without an FM radio - it still functions perfectly well as a car, you just don't get some of the nice extras you've gotten used to :D You can still check things by other means - I don't know USSD codes being a 'must-have' for any network provider.
