Hello anyone aware of Lebara disconnecting calls after 30 min automatically? even though you are on unlimited call plan.
Or any other UK provider doing such things.

1. Login to your account and get the call log when the call was dropped (you may find 29:50 or similar)
2. Talk to customer care and pin point the call drops, without the logs they may not admit its a problem at there end.
3. Send a strong email to customer care but I bet they won't be responding to that.
It took approx. 2 wk. to get this fix on my numbers. it was very painful even the calls to customer care were dropping after 30 min.
As per customer care in recent months they had changes at there network based on some new policy they don't allow calls more than 30 min.
I asked them to share the policy and as expected they never shared it.
I challenged them that when I got the plan this was not in place and I should be allowed to make the calls as long as I have the plan or call credit.
I had a few rounds with them but at last it seems working.
Hope that helps.
I have the Snapdragon 888 in my phone (ZTE Axon 30 5G - though - I never had calls getting cut off on GiffGaff / O2 network). I don't have Wi-Fi Calling enabled.
Boyf says he's been able to hold 30+ minute phone calls (and he has a Huawei Mate 20 Pro - 4G) - the only long calls I ever see him doing are via Wi-Fi on Telegram? but I'll take his word for it. Maybe it does depend on your phone's chipset? Who knows!
Edit: He's looked up his call logs and he's done a few really long calls recently (I must not be about when he makes them - maybe he's got another woman, ha).
TL;DR: Sounds like it probably is a 5G chipset to blame. Wonder when Lebara / Vodafone will fix the issue? (edited)
