According to your requirement mentioned in comment.

Use PhoneNumberChooserTask and on it's success, use SMS Composer task http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh394021(v=vs.105).aspx

       private void SendInviteViaSMS(){

        var phoneNumberChooserTask= new PhoneNumberChooserTask();
        phoneNumberChooserTask.Completed += PhoneNumberChooserTaskOnCompleted;
        phoneNumberChooserTask.Show();
    }

    private void PhoneNumberChooserTaskOnCompleted(object sender, PhoneNumberResult phoneNumberResult)
    {
        if (phoneNumberResult.TaskResult == TaskResult.OK)
        {

            Debug.WriteLine("The phone number for " + phoneNumberResult.DisplayName + " is " + phoneNumberResult.PhoneNumber);
            var smsComposeTask = new SmsComposeTask();
            smsComposeTask.To = phoneNumberResult.PhoneNumber;
            smsComposeTask.Body = String.Format(" Hey {0}, Try this new application. It's great!",phoneNumberResult.DisplayName);
            smsComposeTask.Show();
        }
    }
