Can you reset the start screen on your phone so that it goes directly to the dialing page?

It would be nice to have the screen that allows me to call/text pop up immediately on my phone since that is what I am most likely going to do instead of going to the “main” screen that then requires you choose what app you want. Any way to do this?
Yes, it would only eliminate one step but that is one step less that I have to sit and wait for my slow-assed phone to decide whether or not it is going to do it.
