Proposed Service Providers’ Directory using Unstructured Supplementary Service Data [USSD] application platform

Abstract

The source of contact details of public and private organizations used to be the telephone

directory. The telephone directory would contain the physical location of the organization as well

as the telephone number. With the advent of the mobile phones whose use has grown

exponentially, the fixed network market share has declined drastically. And so is availability of

the telephone directory. This proposal is to develop a service provider’s directory accessed by

mobile phone using the USSD platform.
