Description
My phone provider has a service for delivering my prepaid account balance via sms. The instructions that came with the SIM said "Dial *100#, press send, and select balance from the menu"
Unfortunately the dialer app just quits when I dial *100#, and even more unfortunately this is the only way I can check my balance without going online.

I'll update in the next few days, but in the meantime I've found out what to type into mickeyterm:
atdt*100# responds with a menu, not the account balance. But the account balance is the first item in the menu so...
at atdt*100#1#
If an update will make this work without having to use the terminal, so much the better.

I found this out a while ago and now I've forgotten how I found it out :( Unfortunately I also forgot a few other details which are probably important.
The problem is in a function with a name like HEXtoUTF8 in either phoneuid or frameworkd.

unfortunately GSM does not work at all in the newest shr-unstable so that question is moot.

I've been investigating how a fix for this might work using mickeyterm.
But I can't seem to format the at+cusd command correctly.
