@dabeedla1 there was a recent thread with someone saying they were consistently getting their calls dropped around the 2hr15min point.
The concensus was that just about every carrier does something similar. They limit the length of the call to something they consider "reasonable" for a legitiimate call, and then cut it off. They do this to prevent calls that are accidentally never hung up from carrying on indefinitely and tying up the network. I think in principle it's a legitimate practice, though I can see how it would be annoying if you often needed to do longer calls.
My suggestion if you need long calls is to keep an eye on the time, and around the 2 hour mark, find a pause and gracefully mention that you need to hang up and call them back (or call back into the conference call). This way at least it doesn't happen unexpectedly in the middle of a sentence when you hit the arbitrary cut-off point. This isn't great, but it might help a little.
