Filter phone call
It could be nice, as Nokia did with Symbian, because Windows Phone is not only done to "people" but also to "Company" to filter received call using Room or Group and select a specific profile at specific moment (in Meeting, General, Airplane, etc) selecting user who can reach you.

Edit a contacts phone on demand. For example while i'm at another city i need to add some codes in front of the phone number before dial.
If i'm travelling and i need to call someone from my contacts, i need to add some codes in front of the number but i can't do that on demand. I have to write the number in a paper, then dial it with the codes.
I would like to have an easy way to do that!

Let low-end devices like Lumia 610 have skype and all other apps.
Its terrible that Lumia 610 doesnt have skype.
And other apps like Viber are nowhere close to providing free calling.6 votes -
To be able to configure call forwarding in detail
It would be very useful to have the possibility to configure call forwarding for different situations. For instance I want to forward calls only when my phone is turned off, or when I don’t have network coverage.
Previously I had a HTC Touch Diamond handset, and Windows Mobile allowed me to configure call forwarding in this detail.

SPeakerphone volume on Lumia 822 is very low. Seems to use a different speaker than all other sounds
Make volume of speakerphone louder and use main speaker on Lumia 822(Verizon). Have to hold phone close to ear when using speakerpone even at max volume (10). SOund comes from a different speaker than other sounds (and normal call).

Separate Bluetooth volume control/normalization
Make separate volume for bluetooth device so when I turn down the phone, it still sounds normal in the BT headset.
Some kind of adjustable normalization may be nice too provided it works well (sometimes the calls are too loud, and sometimes too soft).5 votes -

Windows phone Facetime like feature
IPhones have face time, android has tango app, blackberry z10 has blackberry messenger. Windows needs it's own video call feature. Ideally make it WP to anyone but WP to WP would be fine.

Applications accessed should not close during a call
1. On a call, access applications (like OneNote) to refer to information in it.
2. Now hold the phone to your ear and the proximity sensor switches off the screen.
Issue: The application that you had opened closes during this process. So you when look at the screen again, that same application needs to be opened again.5 votes -

Hi, Please enable normal 3G video Call (Non-Skype/Non-3rd party) on Windows Phone 8 Devices. This is similar to my N73.
Hi, Please enable normal 3G video Call (Non-Skype/Non-3rd party) on Windows Phone 8 Devices. This is similar to my N73. I agree that currently this can be made through Skype, but in some country regions, data is poor and we depend on 3G native video calls -> Phonebook-> name -> number -> Video Call. This makes my Lumia Windows experience complete.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give an update for this feature.
