Why do you feel you should be able to interact with a phone call?
Phone calls on a telephone are inherently (and I would say, clearly)
the sole domain and responsibility of the telephone operating system.
Telephones that have operating systems... Does anyone remember those
old rotary assemblages that were mostly mechanical and took up almost
the same space as a brick of ice cream and had big four-prong plugs?
THOSE sure as hell didn't have an OS.
I feel old now :).
In any case, it might be more correct to say that phone calls on a
telephone are ultimately (and conceptually purely) the domain of the
user. I for one would shudder to think that arbitrary applications on
my iPhone could interact with the baseband firmware at all, nevermind
at the level of actually making telephone calls. I hope Apple *never*
makes this functionality available, ever.
