You need to P/Invoke GetDeviceList and ChangeRadioState from ossvcs.dll. The code to actually do this is a bit long for a SO post, so I'll leave it to you to get it worked out - it's not terribly hard (there's some C code here, and there's some C# code on CodeProject even, I've not used it so YMMV).
Another alternative is to use the Radios class in the SDF, which already has these wrapped.
First : Import these dlls
And here's a copy of the code I use for the Motorola MC65, which should work for yours as well.
And to turn off the phone simply call following method:
So just use whatever conditional statements are needed and call DisablePhoneRadio() whenever you need to disable it, and when enabling the phone radio simply swat out the RADIODEVSTATE.RADIODEVICES_OFF with RADIODEVSTATE.RADIODEVICES_ON like so:
Hope this helps!

Check this thread as well. Interesting take on threaded calls and monitoring the device connectivity state and powering on and off the cellular radio on windows mobile.
