"Send USSD failed" keeps coming up every minute
I have a Samsung Galaxy A52. The "Send USSD failed" error message keeps coming up every minute. The phone is connected to the TruConnect network. I did all the basics, but TruConnect says it's not them. Are there any prompts I can do?

I am running a [Moto G Stylus 2021](https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g_stylus_(2021)-10583.php) .
Currently, I am not able to make any phone calls, not even access my voicemail. I am though, able to receive phone calls and make and receive text messages and use USSD codes. I do not know why this is happening as it did not happen before. It is not a carrier issue because I reached out to them and they told me that they have detected no issues with my device but either way sent out a SIM refresh to my device. Even so I was still unable to make phone calls.
Recent changes to my phone was someone going in and messing around with the MMI codes and settings.
Does anyone know what may be the issue?

How to turn off/mute the USSD notification sound in Jelly Bean?
I recently got my Lava Iris 501's OS updated to 4.1.1 and now it even chimes whenever my operator sends me a 'Last Call/SMS/Data Cost' notification. This happens even on the Silent/Meeting modes also. What can I do so that my phone doesn't bug me at my workplace?

My SIM carrier occasionally sends ads in the form of pop-up dialog, like the ones you get after entering a USSD code. However, they appear on the lock screen too and will keep the screen awake indefinitely until I tap on cancel or close. This has resulted in my phone's charge draining overnight. How do I stop this? I dont want the pop-ups completely gone, just want them to stop bypassing the lockscreen.

I found the "Balance Update / USSD blocker" app in the Play store, but it specifically states it does not work on 4.2+ versions of Android.
I also contacted H20 customer service and they will not disable the messages on their end.

I'm trying to execute engineering code to display Bluetooth MAC-address.
*#*#232337#*#* code should be able to do so. But all 3 smartphones fails: after I touch the last '*' button - the code dissapeares and nothing happens.
However some codes are working: *#06# and *#*#4636#*#*
What I'm doing wrong?

This is for a little project I'm working on, to simplify an app that my cell carrier provides, but I don't have any idea of what codes are executing some times, couse there are not documentation about it. I'm expecting something like a sniffer or similar, but I'm open to suggestions. My handset is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, just in case somebody knows a way to achieve what I'm looking for doing a trick in system settings or something hidden in the OS.

It shows my current balance and has an icon of the "SIM-card menu" app. Also, sometimes, some spammy messages appears (from my operator) that look like response to standard USSD request. On a previous OS, there was no such behavior.
How can I disable this? Is it OS or operator-related stuff?

I just read about the remote USSD attack . My hoary old Samsung i7500g phone is vulnerable (confirmed via this site ).
The solution is to install a (free) secondary dialer, like Dialer One. Unfortunately, since my phone is running on 1.5 (I know, I know!), I can't download any apps through Google Play.
Furthermore, an alternative download on AndroidDrawer told me that "this app is not compatible with your phone" -- presumably OS related.
Okay, so, what are my options? Is there a free dialer I can use that will, as explained here , at least prompt me which dialer to execute the command with?
