INitiate SMS by sending ussd request

Is there any way to initiate an SMS MO from a device from the network. Eg: Can I send a special USSD push to a device from the network so that it will SMS a specified text to a specified number from the device.

This largely depends on the device capabilities. The device needs logic for processing the USSD message, instead of just displaying it, and to trigger sending the MO SMS.

Since this is not a factory configuration, you would need a custom application to be installed on the device, provided that the device platform allows for the needed functionality. For example some J2ME-capable devices do have this functionality. Consult your device manufacturers development documentation.

Only if you are the network operator and the USSD message is defined in the network and supported by the device. You could also send a MT SMS and get the specified text as a reply (again supported on the device, obviously).
