Not pressing "End" makes the call go on forever

Just got off the phone with someone who usually hangs up instantly when the conversation is coming to a close. So I did not even press the end button, because they already hung up. About half an hour later I look at my phone and it says I'm still on the phone with them...and the timer is still going!

Why does this happen? When someone hangs up doesn't it usually suppose to disconnect you as well?

First time I've heard this one..

My guess is a fluke, or whoever you were talking to thought they ended the call and didn't.

That's happened to me twice today

Where they on a cell phone? I have noticed on cell phone calls when they hang up it ends the call automatically. When talking on a land line I have to end it myself otherwise, like you said, it will continue going on and on until I do hit end. I have noticed this before the TB though, even before Android devices. IDK if that is your scenario though.
