Hi. I've just been a lurker here, but I'd like to ask if it'd be possible to make a number pad show up instead of a full keyboard when responding to USSD prompts?
All the responses I've ever had to make after issuing a USSD code have been numerical, and Android gives you an entire keyboard of useless buttons.(Also the keyboard covers up the send and cancel buttons). For instance: I dial *188# to get my service provider menu. I press 1 and send to check my airtime balance. Option 2 was to buy a bundle, and so on. I dial some USSD code for my cellphone banking. I get a menu to which I must respond by typing a number, choosing to check my balance or transfer money, etc. Just a suggestion, and hopefully not too out of place in this thread. One other thing with regard to carriers: is there to be the sim toolkit as an app? I recall it in older versions of Android, but don't see it now. Thanks, Jodie.
