A month or two ago, Vodafone discontinued the *225*6# USSD code and started using *111# instead. Two problems with this:
1. The new code (*111#) shows up as a menu with options numbered 1 thru 5. I have to type in 5 and press Send again. Then another menu shows up, where I have to type in 2 and press Send again. Then I have to press Cancel AND then press OK to get rid of this menu thingy. The old code (*225*6#) directly showed my usage, and I simply had to press OK to dismiss the message.
2. I use the USSD Checker widget to keep a tab on my balance, SMS pack and 3G usage. Ever since Vodafone switched to *111#, this widget has been unable to run the new USSD code.
Now call me a lazy bastard, if you will :smile-big:, for not wanting to press a few extra menu buttons, but why did Vodafone discontinue something that worked perfectly and replace it with something that doesn't?
