No, I'm not familiar with it at all. But usually illegal hacking requires to access devices in a way you aren't allowed to access. As long as making the phone call itself is not an issue, it should be fine. Dumping data from the memory of your phone can't be unauthorized.

It would probably become an issue if you make unusual phone calls, harassing people with constantly calling, or calling just for the purpose of getting the location data and immediately hanging up. But just dumping the diagnostics for regular phone calls should be fine (I'm not a lawyer).
