How can we improve the Windows Phone dev platform?

Allow direct dialing on PhoneCallTask

Allow users to choose if they want the "call/don't call" prompt dialog when an app invokes PhoneCallTask.

Fast dialing apps are killed by this limitation.

The same way a user can grant for background tasks, he could grant the app permissions to make direct dialing.

        In term of business apps this limitation force developers to go on android. Same limitation for Iphone.

        please add 2 access levels, the default as it now, with a prompt. but for "dialing apps" add special permission to dial without the prompts. of course do not allow the direct call to any app, only for dialing apps.
        and it will be great if you allow to replace system applications for dialing, sms, calendar, etc. with non-prompting tasks.
