Simulator Support

Answers to common questions about offline simulation, browser compatibility, API integration, and educational licensing.

No. USSDSIM is a fully browser-based environment. It replicates USSD logic locally using JavaScript, allowing you to test transaction flows, menu navigation, and response handling without needing a live SIM card or cellular network connection.
