This is a free app and has no ads.

This app selectively blocks balance update messages thatcarriers send after each call, typically on prepaid plans. Thesebalance update messages show as annoying popups after end of eachcall.

Technically, these balance update messages are USSD messages,and cannot be filtered by SMS blockers. Hence, this app specializesin blocking USSD messages.

You may choose to block messages that contain a specific string(substring match), or a list of keywords (comma separated keywordlist), or advanced users can specify regular expressions that whenmatched trigger blocking.

You can also choose to show the balance update message once perday (or week/month). This will cause the first balance updatemessage to show up, and all other messages will be blocked for therest of the day.

Last 25 messages are saved in the message log, along withindication if the message was blocked or allowed.

Technical users - this app actually doesn't needREAD_PHONE_STATE permission. I've added it so that Android doesn'tauto update this app from 1.0 to 1.2, as that requires arestart.
