MC7455 USSD not working

Hello! I need help with the USSD requests from my modem. I’m sending a request, but there’s no response. Everything works with this SIM card and phone (or a modem from another manufacturer). How can I solve this?

Hello! Thank you for your reply. I updated the firmware, but the result hasn’t changed.

I have no idea about this.
can you change another SIM card with another network operator and see if it works?

I’ve already done this; both SIM cards from different operators work in EP06 and send USSD and receive a response. Any ideas? I have about 100 mc7455 modems and would really like to receive information. This is important to us.

have you contacted distributor?

(please note that this module has been end of life for nearly three years, so there will not be any new firmware for fixing bugs)

I don’t think it can help better than official support.

ok, then you can contact for official support

Could there have been radical changes in 3GPP and the way USSD works in three years? I’m not really aware of this; I’m just starting to understand these issues.

i am not sure about this

But i saw other user can make it work with MC7304:

If you have MC7304, you can try with your SIM card

Thanks for helping me figure this out. I have a lot of mc7304, and they all have the same problem. I haven’t updated the firmware on them yet because they’re always running. But the problem is exactly the same. I tried it with the same SIM cards. It’s confusing that everything works on the EP06 and different Huawei models.


maybe you can first upgrade the firmware of one MC7304 and see if it works:
https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/software/airprime-mc73xx-fw-package-build-4467/

If it does not work, then probably this problem is network dependent

BTW, EP06 is not using the same qualcomm chipset as MC7455

The issue isn’t fundamentally about the chipsets, but rather whether the feature actually works.
I’ll try updating the 7304 and report back here. Thanks for your help!

Hi! I tried the USSD on the MC7304, it also doesn’t work, the firmware is the latest.
I really hope that ideas will emerge to solve the problem.

>>> at+cusd=1,"*100#",15

OK

^MODE: 3

^MODE: 9

then seems to be network dependent as other user can make it work in other network

Btw, is your module ok to receive or send sms?
