About this question

I recently received a call from a number I didn't know to my mobile, answered it anyway. I didn't say anything, when it is a number I don't know I let the other person speak first.. after a few seconds line went down, tried to call back but phone just made an odd noise instead of ringing and it was similar to a fax but only for around a few seconds and then went dead. I wondered if the phone call to my mobile could have stayed connected after the phone call ended in any way? I believe in this scenario the unknown caller ended the call, but my question is regarding either party ending the call and the maximum time a phone line can stay open for ears dropping any next call?


I made a call around 45 minutes after about something unrelated and felt concerned if there could be any personal information leaked in that call because of any line still connected from the unknown caller.
