- Limited reliability in 2026: Some USSD services may not work consistently. If a code fails, try alternative methods.
- Network charges may apply: Standard rates from your mobile provider may be charged for USSD sessions.
- Use registered phone: For best results, use the same phone number you registered with your SASSA application.
- Session timeouts: USSD sessions may timeout if you take too long to respond. Have your ID ready.
- Less detailed information: USSD may provide less detail than the online portal.
