The SWAP Cellphone Guide

Here's how you use USSD on your cellphone:

• Dial any SWAP Code 
  
• Decide on an option from the menu that appears. You may need to scroll down
  
• Select Answer/Reply, depending on your phone
• Input your menu selection
• Press the Send/Reply/OK key
• The next menu, or the information requested, will be displayed on your screen

However, each handset functions slightly differently. Below are instructions from some of the major manufacturers. If your particular handset works differently to the guidelines given, simply experiment using the basic principles above.

• In the event that you need to input text, switch to text mode on your phone once you have pressed the "Answer" key and are about to input your text. To do this, press and hold down the # key till the display at the top left of the screen changes from 123 to abc
