Hello ItsJPJ,

As I know there is no Ping class for at this moment for Windows Store App or Windows Phone, perhaps you would like to suggest this idea to our product team directly: https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-dev-platform

I would also like to know why you want to send ping request, I simply see your description like you want to test if the server is still alive, you can use Socket do the same thing.

Thanks for your understanding.
