First up just try sending your operator's code for requesting your balance. 
It's usually some code starting with * or #, and I think the dialler 
recognises this and sends it as USSD. From what I remember of the other post 
the messages started appearing after every call from that point on.

If that doesn't work you can send a USSD from the command line or a script 
using:

mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ogsmd /org/freesmartphone/GSM 
org.freesmartphone.GSM.Network.SendUssdRequest '*1234#'

This assumes you want to send *1234#

I think mdbus has a similar syntax for listening for signals like IncomingUssd 
but I'm not in a position to check at the moment. If you enable logging in 
frameworkd you should also see any arriving USSD messages in the log.
