# USSD access channel

> How Emerging Household Energy uses USSD to give rural households offline access to IXO services.

Emerging Household Energy uses USSD as the primary offline access channel for rural household members. It is built on the open-source [IXO USSD gateway](/articles/ixo-ussd) and deployed as a fork at [emerging-eco/ixo-ussd-supamoto](https://github.com/emerging-eco/ixo-ussd-supamoto).

Users dial a USSD short code on any GSM phone — no smartphone or data plan required — to register their identity, manage their account, and interact with Emerging Household Energy services.

## Current capabilities

The Supamoto deployment supports:

* **Know More** — information about the programme, products, and services
* **Account creation** — register a new household member identity with a PIN, creating an IXO Decentralized Identifier (DID) and on-chain wallet
* **Account login** — authenticate returning users by phone number and PIN

Additional flows, including user services and agent services, are under active development. See the [repository](https://github.com/emerging-eco/ixo-ussd-supamoto) for current status.
