Abstract: The invention provides a system and method of communication comprising a USSD interface that is independent of the supporting stack the USSD is operating in. By decoupling the supporting stack from the USSD interface, similar services can be deployed across various service providers or network operators thereby enhancing the usability and efficiency of the USSD interface. The system includes client equipment configured to initiate a session by sending a session identification code, a gateway server coupled to the client equipment, and a USSD platform communicatively coupled to the gateway server via a configurable protocol. The gateway server initiates the session upon receiving the session identification code. The USSD platform communicates in real-time with the client equipment through the gateway server.
