I'm with Rogers in Canada on a plan which allows free incoming calls, but only 150 minutes outgoing calls. When my wife wants to talk she calls me (from iPhone) but I usually let it ring a few times then I'll call her back.

Every once and a while though I'll pick up and let her talk (her calling me). When the conversation becomes somewhat lengthy I usually tell her "hang up and I'll call you back -it's free". A few times though she forgets to 'End Call' so when I try to call her back, she's still on the line, unknowingly.

This is scary, for should the line remain open for several hours (while phone in her purse), I'm looking to spend big bucks. It's not like a flip phone when you can just end the call by closing it.

Question: Is there some app that would 'kill' the call when idle? (no voice?) Is there some solution?

: )

Umm... as long as either party hangs up, the call gets ended. So if you hang up and call back, the original call will be terminated.

I noticed on at least three occasions that I was still connected (as indicated by the words "still connected" on the home screen) LONG after my call ended. It appears as though calls are not always terminated when the other person hangs up.

In that case I'd treat it as a billing error. Show them details of your call length compared to the other party's (easier to do if it's a family bill where both parties are on the same account) and it'd be obvious that the line didn't terminate properly.

Wow.

You'd think the service providers would have this telephoning thing down - at least conceptually - by 2008.
