Note If you do not finish your call before the timer expires, your voice call will automatically be disconnected and you may also lose your Internet connection. To avoid this, there are two workarounds:

Ask the person to whom you are speaking to hang up before the timer expires and call you back in a minute. Then resume your Internet connection until the caller contacts you again, this way the conversation can continue on indefinitely, although in segments.
