Full List of Safaricom USSD Shortcodes you should be using

Safaricom USSD Shortcodes allow you to easily use the Green coated network in Kenya. Given the fact that Safaricom is the biggest telco in the country, noting its available shortcodes can easily allow you access services provided both at home, and while roaming in other countries.

Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) codes allow you to access services offered by a telecommunication provider through your phone’s dial pad. A valid USSD code starts with * and ends with # to perform a prescribed function.

Popularly, MPESA is the most used service on Safaricom and it can be accessed through the telco’s *234# shortcode or the mysafaricom app. More so, a catalog of other services can be accessed with several other codes.

So, in case you’re feature phone user, or simply prefer saving space on your smartphone by limiting the number of installed apps, Safaricom USSD shortcodes can save you from a heck of research and customer care calls.

Hence, here is a list of Safaricom Shortcodes you should be using on your phone in absence of the mysafaricom app and the SIM toolkit catalog.
