I am using Nokia Lumia 630, when the phone is locked I made a long click on "search" icon to activate Cortana:
If I tell it to set a reminder it asks to unlock phone first --> which is the right behavior
But when I say to it call someone, it calls him !! When the phone is locked only emergency calls should work not calling others.

It's not a bug, it's a feature you can disable if you want to.

In Windows Phone 8.1, you need to access the search/Cortana settings and disable the lock screen settings there.

In Windows 10 Mobile, go to Cortana, then Notebook, then "Settings"

I've never had a phone that did not make calls, via BT, when locked. Kind of defeats the purpose of hands free if you have to unlock a phone when using BT.
