TL;WW
I tried paying via USSD UPI today, and it worked. I had to use the UPI ID function, and did not go through with mobile number, but it worked.
All I did was *99# > 1 > 3 > UPI ID > Amount > Text/Ref > UPI PIN > Confirm
One can also do it in shorter steps, like in any USSD code: *99*1*3# > UPI ID > Amount > Text/Ref > UPI PIN > Confirm
Please mind that you need to have the USSD UPI function activated, else this does not work.
I have captured it step wise in the below image as well.
Update: I just cross checked to see what it shows up on my BHIM UPI, now this is weird. It is blank name and upi detail for the receiver. Very odd. Bug maybe?
Update 2: This seemed to be a temporary issue. Rest 4-5 payments I made, all showed correctly, without any issues.
Though the SMS which I received, showed correct details. See image below
