This sample demonstrates how to use Windows 8.1 Win32/COM Mobile Broadband APIs within the AppContainer to access and manage mobile broadband features.
This sample shows how to:
- Use the IMbnPinManager and IMbnPin interfaces to retrieve the device pin state and how to unlock it if it is locked.
- Use the IMbnConnectionManager and IMbnConnection interfaces to issue a connection connect or disconnect.
- Use the IMbnDeviceServicesManager and IMbnDeviceService interface to enumerate the phone book.
- Use the IMbnInterface interface to return the state of the mobile broadband device and its capabilities.
This sample requires the following capabilities:
-
Mobile broadband device interface identifier
<DeviceCapability Name=”BFCD56F7-3943-457F-A312-2E19BB6DC648″ />
Versions of this sample are provided in JavaScript and C#.
To obtain an evaluation copy of Windows 8.1, go to Windows 8.1.
To obtain an evaluation copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, go to Visual Studio 2013.
Note For Windows 8 app samples, download the Windows 8 app samples pack. The samples in the Windows 8 app samples pack will build and run only on Microsoft Visual Studio 2012.

The AppContainer Mobile Broadband sample accesses privileged APIs and requires a custom signed Mobile Broadband account metadata package that references this application or the application accessing the device in order to run. The application will display an Access is Denied error message if the metadata package doesn't explicitly grant permission to this application.
