In my sms apllication, user has to send msg like

"stock infy"

where stock is keyword and kannel passes it to proper sms-service.

But, in USSD, user has to dial some number, lets say

*123#

What should be my sms-service configuration. Will USSD send value "123" in
user data parameter or in service code parameter. I want to make some
service, how to go about it.
