Unexpected dropped call

Info

Dropped calls, as the list above suggests, have a variety of potential root causes. Most dropped calls are a result of poor mobile connections from the remote end. While mobile carrier networks continue to improve, we recommend following up with the remote end promptly to see if they may have been in a questionable signal zone.

If the source of the disconnect is not clearly identifiable, working with the SharpenCare team can help us get closer. Our logging can confirm whether the dropped call was initiated by the agent side, system side, or remote end. If you need to track down an important dropped call and need some assistance, please raise a request.

However, if two users in the United States are dealing with delay problems, there are very likely network or hardware inefficiencies preventing the timely delivery of data to each party.
