What you can do if the phone call ends suddenly
There are several reasons why a phone call may hang up suddenly after a few seconds or minutes.
Network issues or weak signal
A weak signal can lead to interruptions or complete call termination, regardless of whether you have a high-performance Android device or an iPhone. Network congestion or problems at the telecommunications operator level can be reasons why a phone call may suddenly disconnect.
If you have Wi-Fi Calling enabled and you move far away from the router (out of Wi-Fi coverage area) during a phone call, it's very likely that the call will drop. Most of the time, these issues can be resolved by moving to an area with better GSM signal or by redialing the call.

External interference
When a phone call abruptly ends, the cause may be interference with electronic devices, such as microwave ovens or Wi-Fi routers. These can interfere with the phone signal. Try to move away from potential sources of interference.
This problem may also occur around airports or military installations, where there are jamming systems. Calls may suddenly drop or the call quality may be very poor.
Software issues
Especially in the case of Android operating system phones, the sudden termination of calls during conversations may be caused by some software errors. In this case, it is advisable to keep the operating system up to date.
Defective SIM card
If the SIM card is damaged or the contacts are corroded, this can lead to signal loss or call interruptions. Carefully clean the SIM card contacts and the SIM card slot using a soft, dry cloth.
In conclusion, if a phone call abruptly ends after a few seconds or minutes, regardless of whether you have an Android or iPhone, first check the GSM signal strength. If it's not a signal issue, investigate each of the other possible causes one by one.
