USSD protocol sample

Shows how to use the USSD protocol with GSM-capable mobile broadband adapters. USSD is typically used for account management of a mobile broadband subscription. USSD messages are specific to the mobile broadband operator and must be choosen accordingly when used in a live network.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.
