bitcoin with USSD

I just created another lightning address ([email protected]) using USSD alone. No need to download an app or open a browser!

I simply had to dial _134_382*382# from South Africa, enter a PIN to secure my account and a lightning address is automatically created with my mobile number as username.

I can send, receive, barter (airtime, groceries, fuel, electricity, etc), view my balance, history and exchange rate. I can also change my username which then changes my lightning address, of course.

It was probably the simplest bitcoin set up experience I've ever had.

Below are some screenshots and a link to the provider if you want to check them out.
