Calls going silent after 15 minutes?
Question

Hi, my Mum’s Motorola G7 Play is on iD Mobile and tonight, on more than one occasion, the call went silent after 15 minutes. It doesn’t happen when I’m calling another number (I’m on Vodafone) and we’re both in good signal areas. It’s a bit of an annoying issue. Has anyone else experienced it?
