My understanding is that when the user first installs the software, they are prompted to 'allow' the permissions that are requested.
So given the 'notepad' application that you have mentioned - if you were a user who had downloaded it, and you were prompted to allow access to both phone and messaging, you'd be suspicious. This is not to say that applications that you WOULD expect to use the dialer etc. can't do unexpected things with the permissions, but that is where trust and respect come into play.
