My brother in Palmerston North has an iPhone SE 2 on-account with One NZ.

 

My phone in Porirua is a Samsung S21FE on-account with One NZ.

 

We often talk late at night, and have recently been noticing that the call drops at the stroke of midnight whenever we talk that late.

 

We both have VoWiFi disabled as far as we know.

 

Any ideas why this may be happening?

Oh they responded already with ' power saving on the site kicking in '

 

Power saving by kicking the call off the mobile network! lol 😀 😆 🤣

The higher 4G / LTE frequencies on some sites get shutdown at midnight to lower power consumption

 

What surprised me is calls in progress don't get handed down to the lower frequencies that are not getting powered off

 

So if A & B party were using Wi-Fi calling the call would not drop at midnight
