Launchers are used to perform tasks provided by the  phone operating system. Making Call is feature of Windows phone operating system and can be used by Launcher API. PhoneCallTask launcher is used to call. This launcher class is defined as below,



To work with PhoneCallTask, first you need to add namespace of Microsoft.Phone.Task

Next you need to set values properties to make the call. To make the call you need to set the below properties

1. PhoneNumber
2. DisplayName

So first set PhoneNumber property as below,

        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
 
        private void btnCall_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)       
        {
            PhoneCallTask callTask = new  PhoneCallTask();
            callTask.PhoneNumber = "999999";
            callTask.DisplayName = "debugMode";
