USSD messages are specific to the mobile broadband operator and must be choosen accordingly when used in a live network.

This sample accesses privileged APIs used by mobile broadband operators. Hence it requires a special-use capability to be declared in package manifest.

• This sample will not pass WACK because it uses a special-use capability.
• The USSD API is present but nonfunctional on Phone devices.
