Same for Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and I suspect a lot of the rest of the (non-Eastern) Africa.

USSD codes are critical.

Tanzania? Not so sure. What I've seen in Dar is that the way to access mobile money for instance is to dial 150XX# to access services. SIM Toolkit Applications on the contrary present as regular phone applications (albeit limited by the SIM tooklit capabilities).
