So Let's get it Started off!!!

The Complete Code of IService1.cs looks like this:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace WCF_Connection_Task
{
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IService1" in both code and config file together.
    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IService1
    {

        [OperationContract]
        string Airplane();

        [OperationContract]
        string Bluetooth();

        [OperationContract]
        string WiFi();

        [OperationContract]
        string Cellular();
    }
}

The Complete Code of Service1.svc.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace WCF_Connection_Task
{
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "Service1" in code, svc and config file together.
    public class Service1 : IService1
    {

        public string Airplane()
        {
            return "Hurray...!!! WCF Service for Airplane Mode";
        }

        public string Bluetooth()
        {
            return "Hurray...!!! WCF Service for Bluetooth Mode";
        }

        public string WiFi()
        {
            return "Hurray...!!! WCF Service for WiFi Mode";
        }

        public string Cellular()
        {
            return "Hurray...!!! WCF Service for Cellular Mode";
        }
    }
}
