Answer 1

Why 61 minutes after the start of the conversation, the connection is reset?

Indeed, the duration of the telephone connection is 60 minutes. If for some reason you hang up the phone incorrectly, the conversation will continue without your participation, and the telephone line will remain busy. In order to minimize the busyness of the line for this reason, this limit is set. With intercity and international connections, where there is a billing - the end of the conversation will reduce costs in such cases. In addition, some subscribers use dial-up and situations arise when a computer infected with a virus calls an international number. The 60-minute limit will prevent huge bills for international calls.
As our practice shows, more than 99.9% of calls last less than 60 minutes. If 60 minutes is not enough for you to talk, then after the telephone connection is completed, you can redial the number of your interlocutor or wait for his call and resume the conversation.
