App permissions (Phone calls specifically)

[CoreyOli]

Okay.. With all this open source stuff (which is awesome 15+ year linux user here!!) I was obviously a little careful about what I install on my phone...

I went to download "Wallpapers Pro" today, and I noticed it wants access to the following:

Storage - fine... gotta put stuff in there if I download it
Network communications - k, gotta get out to the net to download the wallpapers
Phone calls - ...? Why? Why would a wallpaper downloading program need access to "read phone state and identity?"

So I started going through and saw others that did that "iMusic" is one of them as well.. Is this for CDMA purposes (no data + calls, etc...)?

Just curious what others think.

Thanks,

-Corey

I don't pay attention to any of that, maybe I should though?
