phone call and sending emails from UWP app

i want to make a phone call and send an email from my UWP but i don't know how to ... is their anyway to help me get through this by providing for me an example or some tutorial..

This is the code i tried but it didn't work 

 using Microsoft.Phone.Tasks;

    PhoneCallTask phoneCallTask = new PhoneCallTask();

    phoneCallTask.PhoneNumber = "2065550123";
    phoneCallTask.DisplayName = "Gage";

    phoneCallTask.Show();

thanks in advance and i really appreciate your help . Update I just found this code snippet 

Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls.PhoneCallManager.ShowPhoneCallUI("+380442308888", "The Name goes here");

and it looks like i need to add a reference Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract. but i can't find it in the reference list .. am i on the right way and if so please help add this reference

you must use PhoneCallManager to make calls

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.applicationmodel.calls.phonecallmanager

if you want to send an email you need to create a EmailMessage object and use ShowComposeEmailAsync

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/contacts-and-calendar/sending-email

Update:

here is the example for using calls.
