    Private Sub btnsend_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnsend.Click

        SerialPort1 = New System.IO.Ports.SerialPort()
        SerialPort1.PortName = "COM3"
        SerialPort1.BaudRate = 9600
        SerialPort1.Parity = Parity.None
        SerialPort1.StopBits = StopBits.One
        SerialPort1.DataBits = 8
        SerialPort1.Handshake = Handshake.RequestToSend
        SerialPort1.DtrEnable = True

    I don't know anything about USSD.  But, I know a lot about Windows CE and serial - so since nobody else replied, I will jump in.

    1. You don't tell us anything about what happens when you try this.  So you leave us to guess, which most of us don't like to do.
    2. You don't include much error checking, so you probably don't even know what happens when you try it.  So, you should first add some error checking.
    3. Since you have proven that your code does work (sometimes) for sending SMS, then the problem probably has a lot more to do with USSD, so I would recommend that try to find a discussion about USSD to ask your questions.  If no discussions, look for sample code.  Look for sample apps to test on your device.
    4. What little research that I did on USSD tells me that unlike SMS, USSD seems to be a two way communication, so your code won't work because you don't read the responses.
