WP 8.1 Runtime code to make phone call, send SMS & send Email (not the Silverlight 8.1)

Question

I\'m writing an app which will make a phone call, send sms or email just like the People app in wp 8.1 . So far I\'ve found a link form msdn which said \"Applies to: Windows

If you want to use Microsoft.Phone.Tasks, you must create Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 project. And if your project is Windows Phone 8.1,

you can use this code to phone call:

Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls.PhoneCallManager.ShowPhoneCallUI("phone number", "display name");

and use this to send sms:

Windows.ApplicationModel.Chat.ChatMessage msg = new Windows.ApplicationModel.Chat.ChatMessage();
msg.Body = "This is body of demo message.";
msg.Recipients.Add("10086");
msg.Recipients.Add("10010");
await Windows.ApplicationModel.Chat.ChatMessageManager.ShowComposeSmsMessageAsync(msg);

and use this to send mail:

Windows.ApplicationModel.Email.EmailMessage mail = new Windows.ApplicationModel.Email.EmailMessage();
mail.Subject = "This is Subject";
mail.Body = "This is body of demo mail";
mail.To.Add(new Windows.ApplicationModel.Email.EmailRecipient("shaom_wp@hotmail.com", "shaomeng"));
await Windows.ApplicationModel.Email.EmailManager.ShowComposeNewEmailAsync(mail);
