Short answer

Calls cut off at two hours when an auto‑end timer is active, often set by the carrier or a hidden iPhone setting. Disable the timer in Settings or ask your provider to remove the limit.

Key points

  • Auto‑end timers can be set by carriers or iPhone settings.
  • The limit is usually two hours but can vary.
  • Disabling the timer stops the cutoff.
  • Weak signal can also drop calls but timing matters.
  • Check Settings > Phone for a Call Duration option.

Your call ends after about two hours because an auto‑end timer is active, usually set by the carrier or a hidden iPhone setting. Disable the timer in Settings or contact your carrier to remove the limit.

How to find the timer

Open Settings, tap Phone, and look for an option labeled Call Duration, Auto‑End Call, or similar. If a limit is set, toggle it off or set the duration to unlimited.

When the setting isn’t visible

Not all iPhones display this setting. If you don’t see it, the cutoff is likely enforced by the carrier. Call your provider and ask if they impose a call‑duration limit and how to disable it.

Frequently asked questions

Can a weak signal cause a call to drop after two hours?

Weak signal can drop a call at any time, but it doesn’t follow a strict two‑hour pattern. If the drop always occurs around two hours, a timer is more likely.

Do all carriers enforce a two‑hour call limit?

Only some carriers set a hard limit. Most modern plans allow unlimited voice minutes, but older or prepaid plans may still have a cutoff.

Is there a way to bypass the limit without contacting the carrier?

Disabling the auto‑end timer in Settings removes the cutoff if the setting exists. If it’s carrier‑controlled, you’ll need to talk to the provider.
