From that page:

A change was checked in by David Brown that limits the use of the MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permission to system apps. System apps are either

In other words, you can't use that permission.

You can set permission but it souldn't work. If you have Android <= 2.2 it will work, but no later. – Bojan Kogoj Jan 28 '13 at 08:44
