3.41 I place a call shortly after I place and end one and the
"Call not sent" message is displayed, but the other party
still hears an incoming call ringtone. Why?
This issue occurs when you place a call, end it, and place another call within 2.5 seconds,
because it takes 2.5 seconds for the network to release a call. In areas where the signal is weak,
if you place a call, end it, and place another call within 2.5 seconds, the network device may
fail to receive the call releasing request. Due to this failure, the network device will start a
timer (30 seconds, twice), which causes overbilling and increases the network load.
